Jeremiah 23:16-22

View Full Chapter

16This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD .

17They keep saying to those who despise me, ‘The LORD says: You will have peace.’ And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say, ‘No harm will come to you.’

18But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see or to hear his word? Who has listened and heard his word?

19See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked.

20The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand it clearly.

21I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied.

22But if they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people and would have turned them from their evil ways and from their evil deeds.
