Jeremiah 23:19–27
19Behold, the LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out. Yes, a whirling storm! It will burst on the head of the wicked.↗
20The LORD’s anger will not return until he has executed and performed the intents of his heart. In the latter days, you will understand it perfectly.↗
21I didn’t send these prophets, yet they ran. I didn’t speak to them, yet they prophesied.↗
22But if they had stood in my council, then they would have caused my people to hear my words, and would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.↗
23“Am I a God at hand,” says the LORD, “and not a God afar off?↗
24Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him?” says the LORD. “Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” says the LORD.↗
25“I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’↗
26How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?↗
27They intend to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they each tell his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name because of Baal.↗
