Jeremiah 23:14-16

I have seen
<07200> (8804)
also in the prophets
<05030>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
an horrible thing
<08186>_:
they commit adultery
<05003> (8800)_,
and walk
<01980> (8800)
in lies
<08267>_:
they strengthen
<02388> (8765)
also the hands
<03027>
of evildoers
<07489> (8688)_,
that none
<0376>
doth return
<07725> (8804)
from his wickedness
<07451>_:
they are all of them unto me as Sodom
<05467>_,
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof as Gomorrah
<06017>_.
{an...: or, filthiness}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
concerning the prophets
<05030>_;
Behold, I will feed
<0398> (8688)
them with wormwood
<03939>_,
and make them drink
<08248> (8689)
the water
<04325>
of gall
<07219>_:
for from the prophets
<05030>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
is profaneness
<02613>
gone forth
<03318> (8804)
into all the land
<0776>_.
{profaneness: or, hypocrisy}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
Hearken
<08085> (8799)
not unto the words
<01697>
of the prophets
<05030>
that prophesy
<05012> (8737)
unto you: they make you vain
<01891> (8688)_:
they speak
<01696> (8762)
a vision
<02377>
of their own heart
<03820>_,
[and] not out of the mouth
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>_.

Jeremiah 23:21-32

I have not sent
<07971> (8804)
these prophets
<05030>_,
yet they ran
<07323> (8804)_:
I have not spoken
<01696> (8765)
to them, yet they prophesied
<05012> (8738)_.
But if they had stood
<05975> (8804)
in my counsel
<05475>_,
and had caused my people
<05971>
to hear
<08085> (8686)
my words
<01697>_,
then they should have turned
<07725> (8686)
them from their evil
<07451>
way
<01870>_,
and from the evil
<07455>
of their doings
<04611>_.
[Am] I a God
<0430>
at hand
<07138>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and not a God
<0430>
afar off
<07350>_?
Can any
<0376>
hide
<05641> (8735)
himself in secret places
<04565>
that I shall not see
<07200> (8799)
him? saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Do not I fill
<04392>
heaven
<08064>
and earth
<0776>_?
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
I have heard
<08085> (8804)
what the prophets
<05030>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
that prophesy
<05012> (8737)
lies
<08267>
in my name
<08034>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)_,
I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)_.
How long shall [this] be
<03426>
in the heart
<03820>
of the prophets
<05030>
that prophesy
<05012> (8737)
lies
<08267>_?
yea, [they are] prophets
<05030>
of the deceit
<08649>
of their own heart
<03820>_;
Which think
<02803> (8802)
to cause my people
<05971>
to forget
<07911> (8687)
my name
<08034>
by their dreams
<02472>
which they tell
<05608> (8762)
every man
<0376>
to his neighbour
<07453>_,
as their fathers
<01>
have forgotten
<07911> (8804)
my name
<08034>
for Baal
<01168>_.
The prophet
<05030>
that hath a dream
<02472>_,
let him tell
<05608> (8762)
a dream
<02472>_;
and he that hath my word
<01697>_,
let him speak
<01696> (8762)
my word
<01697>
faithfully
<0571>_.
What [is] the chaff
<08401>
to the wheat
<01250>_?
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{that hath a dream: Heb. with whom is, etc}
[Is] not my word
<01697>
like
<03541>
as a fire
<0784>_?
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and like a hammer
<06360>
[that] breaketh
<06327> (0)
the rock
<05553>
in pieces
<06327> (8787)_?
Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets
<05030>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that steal
<01589> (8764)
my words
<01697>
every one
<0376>
from his neighbour
<07453>_.
Behold, I [am] against the prophets
<05030>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that use
<03947> (8802)
their tongues
<03956>_,
and say
<05001> (8799)_,
He saith
<05002> (8803)_.
{that...: or, that smooth their tongues}
Behold, I [am] against them that prophesy
<05012> (8737)
false
<08267>
dreams
<02472>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and do tell
<05608> (8762)
them, and cause my people
<05971>
to err
<08582> (8686)
by their lies
<08267>_,
and by their lightness
<06350>_;
yet I sent
<07971> (8804)
them not, nor commanded
<06680> (8765)
them: therefore they shall not profit
<03276> (8686)
this people
<05971>
at all
<03276> (8687)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
