Jeremiah 23:21-27

21“I did not send those prophets, yet they ran. I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.

22If they have stood in My council, then they would have announced My words to My people, and turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their deeds.”

23“Am I God only when near” —it is a declaration of Adonai— “and not God when far off?

24Can anyone hide himself in places so secret that I will not see him? Do I not fill heaven and earth?” It is a declaration of Adonai.

25“I have heard what the prophets said, who prophesy lies in My Name, saying: ‘I had a dream, I had a dream!’

26How long will this continue? Is there anything in the heart of such prophets prophesying lies? These prophets have deception in their heart.

27Through their dreams that they each tell to his companion, that intend to make My people forget My Name—just as their fathers forgot My Name because of Baal.
