Yet they were in a hurry to give their message. 1 

I did not tell them anything.

Yet they prophesied anyway.

Jeremiah 23:26

Context
23:26 Those prophets are just prophesying lies. They are prophesying the delusions of their own minds. 2 

1 tn Heb “Yet they ran.”

See 2 Sam 18:19-24; Jer 51:31; Isa 40:9; 52:7; Hab 2:2 (the tablet/scroll bore the message the runner was to read to the intended recipients of his message). Their message has been given in v. 17 (see notes there for cross references).
