Jeremiah 23:9-22
9As for the prophetsH5030: My 1heartH3820 is brokenH7665 withinH7130 me, AllH3605 my bonesH6106 trembleH7363; I have becomeH1961 like a drunkenH7910 manH376, And like a manH1397 overcomeH5674 by wineH3196, BecauseH4480H6440 of the LordH3068 And becauseH4480H6440 of His holyH6944 wordsH1697.10For the landH776 is fullH4390 of 2adulterersH5003; For the landH776 3mournsH56 becauseH4480H6440 of the curseH423. The 4pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 have driedH3001 upH3001. Their courseH4794 is evilH7451 And their mightH1369 is not rightH3653.11“For 5bothH1571 prophetH5030 and priestH3548 are defiledH2610; EvenH1571 in My houseH1004 I have foundH4672 their wickednessH7463,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.12“ThereforeH3651 their wayH1870 will be like 6slipperyH2519 pathsH2519 to them, They will be drivenH1760 awayH1760 into the 7gloomH653 and fallH5307 downH5307 in it; For I will bringH935 8disasterH7463 upon them, The yearH8141 of their punishmentH6486,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
13“Moreover, among the prophetsH5030 of SamariaH8111 I sawH7200 an 9offensiveH8604 thingH8604: They 10prophesiedH5012 by BaalH1168 and 11ledH8582 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 astrayH8582.14Also among the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 I have seenH7200 a 12horribleH8186 thingH8186: The committingH5003 ofH5003 13adulteryH5003 and walkingH1980 in deceitH8267; And they strengthenH2388 the handsH3027 of 14evildoersH7489, So that noH1115 oneH376 has turnedH7725 backH7725 from his wickednessH7463. AllH3605 of them have becomeH1961 to Me like 15SodomH5467, And her inhabitantsH3427 like GomorrahH6017. 15ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559 concerningH5921 the prophetsH5030: ‘BeholdH2009, I am going to 16feedH398 them wormwoodH3939 And makeH8248 them drinkH8248 poisonousH7219 waterH4325, For from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 UngodlinessH2613 has spreadH3318 into allH3605 the landH776.’”
16ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559: “17Do not listenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 who are prophesyingH5012 to you. They are 18leadingH1891 you intoH1891 futilityH1891; They tellH1696 a 19visionH2377 of their own 20imaginationH3820, Not 21from the mouthH6310 of the LordH3068.17They keep sayingH559 to those who 22despiseH5006 Me, ‘The LordH3068 has saidH1696, “23You will haveH1961 peaceH7965”’; And as for everyoneH3605 who walksH1980 in the 24stubbornnessH8307 of his own heartH3820, They sayH559, ‘25DisasterH7463 will not comeH935 on you.’18But 26whoH4310 has stoodH5975 in the councilH5475 of the LordH3068, That he should seeH7200 and hearH8085 His wordH1697? WhoH4310 has paidH7181 27attentionH7181 to 28His wordH1697 and listenedH8085?19BeholdH2009, the 29stormH5591 of the LordH3068 has goneH3318 forthH3318 in wrathH2534, Even a whirlingH2342 tempestH5591; It will swirlH2342 downH2342 on the headH7218 of the wickedH7563.20The 30angerH639 of the LordH3068 will not turnH7725 backH7725 UntilH5704 He has 31performedH6213 and carriedH6965 outH6965 the purposesH4209 of His heartH3820; 32In the lastH319 daysH3117 you will clearlyH998 understandH995 it.2133I did not sendH7971 these prophetsH5030, But they ranH7323. I did not speakH1696 to them, But they prophesiedH5012.22But ifH518 they had 34stoodH5975 in My councilH5475, Then they would have 35announcedH8085 My wordsH1697 to My peopleH5971, And would have turnedH7725 them backH7725 from their evilH7451 wayH1870 And from the evilH7455 of their deedsH4611.
