drb Jeremiah:23:9-32
drb@Jeremiah:23:9 @To the prophets: My heart is broken within me, all my bones tremble: I am become as a drunken man, and as a man full of wine, at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of his holy words.
drb@Jeremiah:23:10 @Because the land is full of adulterers, because the land hath mourned by reason of cursing, the fields of the desert are dried up: and their course is become evil, and their strength unlike.
drb@Jeremiah:23:11 @For the prophet and the priest are defiled: and in my house I have found their wickedness, saith the Lord.
drb@Jeremiah:23:12 @Therefore their way shall be as a slippery way in the dark: for they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evils upon them, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.
drb@Jeremiah:23:13 @And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria: they prophesied in Baal, and deceived my people Israel.
drb@Jeremiah:23:14 @And I have seen the likeness of adulterers, and the way of lying in the peophets of Jerusalem: and they strengthened the hand of the wicked, that no man should return from his evil doings: that are all become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gamorrha.
drb@Jeremiah:23:15 @Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts to the prophets: Behold I will feed them with wormwood, and I will give them gall to drink: for from the prophets of Jerusalem corruption has gone forth into all the land.
drb@Jeremiah:23:16 @Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, and deceive you: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
drb@Jeremiah:23:17 @They say tothem that blaspheme me: The Lord hath said: You shall have peace: and to every one that walketh in the perverseness of his own heart, they have said: No evil shall come to you.
drb@Jeremiah:23:18 @For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath seen and heard his word? Who hath considered his word and heard it?
drb@Jeremiah:23:19 @Behold the whirlwind of the Lord's indignation shall come forth, and a tempest shall break out and come upon the head of the wicked.
drb@Jeremiah:23:20 @The wrath of the Lord shall not return till he execute it, and till he accomplish the thought of his heart: in the latter days you shall understand his counsel.
drb@Jeremiah:23:21 @I did not send prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
drb@Jeremiah:23:22 @If they stood in my counsel, and had made my words known to my people, I should have turned them from their evil way and from their wicked doings.
drb@Jeremiah:23:23 @Am I, think ye, a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?
drb@Jeremiah:23:24 @Shall a man be hid in secret places, and I not see him, saith the Lord? do not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord?
drb@Jeremiah:23:25 @I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesylies in my name, and say: I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
drb@Jeremiah:23:26 @How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, and that prophesy the delusions of their own heart?
drb@Jeremiah:23:27 @Who seek to make my people forget my name through their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbor: as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.
drb@Jeremiah:23:28 @The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream: and he that hath my word, let him speak my word with truth: what hath the chaff to do with the wheat, saith the Lord?
drb@Jeremiah:23:29 @Are not my words as a fire, saith the Lord: and as a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
drb@Jeremiah:23:30 @Therefore behold I am against the prophets, saith the Lord: who steal my words every one from his neighbor.
drb@Jeremiah:23:31 @Behold I am against the prophets, saith the Lord: who use their tongues, and say: The Lord saith it.
drb@Jeremiah:23:32 @Behold I am against the prophets that have lying dreams, saith the Lord: and tell them, and cause my people to err by their lying, and by their wonders: when I sent them not, nor commanded them, who have not profited this people at all, saith the Lord.
