Jeremiah 23:21-27

21I sentH7971 notH3808 theseH1992 prophetsH5030, yet they ranH7323: I spake notH3808 unto them, yet they prophesiedH5012.

22But ifH518 they had stoodH5975 in my councilH5475, then had they causedH1697 my peopleH5971 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697, and had turnedH7725 them from their evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the evilH7451 of their doingsH1697.

23Am I a GodH430 at handH7138, saith the LORDH3068, and notH3808 a GodH430 afarH7350 offH7350?

24CanH518 anyH376 hideH5641 himselfH3808 in secretH4565 placesH4565 that I shall notH3808 seeH7200 him? saith the LORDH3068. DoH518 notH3808 I fillH4390 heavenH8064 and earthH776? saith the LORDH3068.

25I have heardH8085 whatH834 the prophetsH5030 have saidH559, that prophesyH5012 liesH8267 in my nameH8034, sayingH559, I have dreamedH2492, I have dreamedH2492.

26HowH4970 longH5704 shall this be in the heartH3820 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 liesH8267; evenH5704 the prophetsH5030 of the deceitH8267 of their own heartH3820?

27whichH834 thinkH2803 to cause my peopleH5971 to forgetH7911 my nameH8034 by their dreamsH2472 whichH834 they tellH5608 everyH376 manH376 to his neighbour, as their fathersH1 forgat my nameH8034 for BaalH1168.
