ylt @Jeremiah:23:9 @In reference to the prophets : Broken hath been my heart in my midst , Fluttered have all my bones , I have been as a man -- a drunkard , And as a man -- wine hath passed over him , Because of Jehovah , and of His holy words . ylt @Jeremiah:23:10 @For of adulterers hath the land been full , For because of these hath the land mourned , Dried up hath been the pleasant places of the wilderness , And their course is evil , and their might -- not right . ylt @Jeremiah:23:11 @For both prophet and priest have been profane , Yea , in My house I found their wickedness , An affirmation of Jehovah . ylt @Jeremiah:23:12 @Therefore is their way to them as slippery places , Into thick darkness they are driven , And they have fallen in it , For I bring in against them evil , The year of their inspection , An affirmation of Jehovah . ylt @Jeremiah:23:13 @And in prophets of Samaria I have seen folly , They have prophesied by Baal , And cause my people -- Israel -- to err . ylt @Jeremiah:23:14 @And in prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing , Committing adultery , and walking falsely , Yea , they strengthened the hands of evil doers , So that they have not turned back Each from his wickedness , They have been to me -- all of them -- as Sodom , And its inhabitants as Gomorrah . ylt @Jeremiah:23:15 @Therefore , thus said Jehovah of Hosts , concerning the prophets : Lo , I am causing them to eat wormwood , And have caused them to drink water of gall , For , from prophets of Jerusalem Hath profanity gone forth to all the land . ylt @Jeremiah:23:16 @Thus said Jehovah of Hosts : Ye do not hearken unto the words Of the prophets who are prophesying to you , They are making you vain things , A vision of their own heart they speak , Not from the mouth of Jehovah . ylt @Jeremiah:23:17 @Saying diligently to those despising The word of Jehovah : Peace is for you , And [to ] every one walking in the stubbornness of his heart they have said : Evil doth not come in unto you . ylt @Jeremiah:23:18 @For who hath stood in the counsel of Jehovah , And seeth and heareth His word ? Who hath regarded My word , and hearkeneth ? ylt @Jeremiah:23:19 @Lo , a whirlwind of Jehovah -- Fury hath gone out , even a piercing whirlwind , On the head of the wicked it stayeth . ylt @Jeremiah:23:20 @The anger of Jehovah doth not turn back Till His doing , and till His establishing , The thoughts of His heart , In the latter end of the days ye attend to it With understanding . ylt @Jeremiah:23:21 @I have not sent the prophets , and they have run , I have not spoken unto them , and they have prophesied . ylt @Jeremiah:23:22 @But -- if they stood in My counsel , Then they cause My people to hear My words , And they turn them back from their evil way , And from the evil of their doings . ylt @Jeremiah:23:23 @A God near [am ] I -- an affirmation of Jehovah , And not a God afar off ? ylt @Jeremiah:23:24 @Is any one hidden in secret places , And I see him not ? an affirmation of Jehovah , Do not I fill the heavens and the earth ? An affirmation of Jehovah . ylt @Jeremiah:23:25 @I have heard that which the prophets said , Who prophesy in My name falsehood , saying , 'I have dreamed , I have dreamed .' ylt @Jeremiah:23:26 @Till when is it in the heart of the prophets ? The prophets of falsehood , Yea , prophets of the deceit of their heart , ylt @Jeremiah:23:27 @Who are devising to cause My people To forget My name by their dreams , That they recount each to his neighbour , As their fathers forgot my name for Baal . ylt @Jeremiah:23:28 @The prophet with whom [is ] a dream , Let him recount the dream , And he with whom [is ] My word , Let him truly speak My word . What -- to the straw with the corn ? An affirmation of Jehovah . ylt @Jeremiah:23:29 @Is it not thus ? My word [is ] as a fire , An affirmation of Jehovah . And as a hammer -- it breaketh in pieces a rock . ylt @Jeremiah:23:30 @Therefore , lo , I [am ] against the prophets , An affirmation of Jehovah , Stealing My words each from his neighbour . ylt @Jeremiah:23:31 @Lo , I [am ] against the prophets , An affirmation of Jehovah , Who are making smooth their tongue , And they affirm -- an affirmation . ylt @Jeremiah:23:32 @Lo , I [am ] against the prophets of false dreams , An affirmation of Jehovah , And they recount them , and cause my people to err , By their falsehoods , and by their instability , And I -- I have not sent them , Nor have I commanded them , And they are not at all profitable to this people , An affirmation of Jehovah .
