Jeremiah 23:21-27

21I have not sentH7971 these prophetsH5030, yet they ranH7323: I have not spokenH1696 to them, yet they prophesiedH5012.

22But if they had stoodH5975 in my counselH5475, and had caused my peopleH5971 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697, then they should have turnedH7725 them from their evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the evilH7455 of their doingsH4611.

23Am I a GodH430 at handH7138, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, and not a GodH430 afar offH7350?

24Can anyH376 hideH5641 himself in secret placesH4565 that I shall not seeH7200 him? saithH5002 YhwhH3068. Do not I fillH4392 heavenH8064 and earthH776? saithH5002 YhwhH3068.

25I have heardH8085 what the prophetsH5030 saidH559, that prophesyH5012 liesH8267 in my nameH8034, sayingH559, I have dreamedH2492, I have dreamedH2492.

26How long shall this beH3426 in the heartH3820 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 liesH8267? yea, they are prophetsH5030 of the deceitH8649 of their own heartH3820;

27Which thinkH2803 to cause my peopleH5971 to forgetH7911 my nameH8034 by their dreamsH2472 which they tellH5608 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453, as their fathersH1 have forgottenH7911 my nameH8034 for BaalH1168.
