Jeremiah 23:21-32
I did not send out these prophets, yet they ran. I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.If they had really stood in my council, they would have enabled my people to hear my words and would have turned them from their evil ways and their evil deeds.“ Am I a God who is only near”— this is the LORD’s declaration—“ and not a God who is far away?Can a person hide in secret places where I cannot see him?”— the LORD’s declaration.“ Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?”— the LORD’s declaration.“ I have heard what the prophets who prophesy a lie in my name have said:‘ I had a dream! I had a dream!’How long will this continue in the minds of the prophets prophesying lies, prophets of the deceit of their own minds?Through their dreams that they tell one another, they plan to cause my people to forget my name as their ancestors forgot my name through Baal worship.The prophet who has only a dream should recount the dream, but the one who has my word should speak my word truthfully, for what is straw compared to grain?”— this is the LORD’s declaration.“ Is not my word like fire”— this is the LORD’s declaration—“ and like a hammer that pulverizes rock?Therefore, take note! I am against the prophets”— the LORD’s declaration—“ who steal my words from each other.I am against the prophets”— the LORD’s declaration—“ who use their own tongues to make a declaration.I am against those who prophesy false dreams”— the LORD’s declaration—“ telling them and leading my people astray with their reckless lies. It was not I who sent or commanded them, and they are of no benefit at all to these people”— this is the LORD’s declaration.
