Jeremiah 23:14-16

23:14

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}

23:15

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}

23:16

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

23:21

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)_.

23:22

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>_.

23:23

[Am] I a God
<0430>

at hand
<07138>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and not a God
<0430>

afar off
<07350>_?

23:24

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>_.

23:25

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)_.

23:26

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>_;

23:27

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>_.

23:28

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}

23:29

[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)_?

23:30

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>_.

23:31

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}

23:32

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>_.
