Jeremiah 23:21-27

21“I have not sent these prophets, yet they run around claiming to speak for me. I have given them no message, yet they go on prophesying.

22If they had stood before me and listened to me, they would have spoken my words, and they would have turned my people from their evil ways and deeds.

23Am I a God who is only close at hand?” says the Lord. “No, I am far away at the same time.

24Can anyone hide from me in a secret place? Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?” says the Lord.

25“I have heard these prophets say, ‘Listen to the dream I had from God last night.’ And then they proceed to tell lies in my name.

26How long will this go on? If they are prophets, they are prophets of deceit, inventing everything they say.

27By telling these false dreams, they are trying to get my people to forget me, just as their ancestors did by worshiping the idols of Baal.
