NET Bible
"Yet which of them has ever stood in the LORD’s inner circle so they could see and hear what he has to say? Which of them have ever paid attention or listened to what he has said?"
— Jeremiah 23:18, NET Bible
“For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?”
“For who hath stood in the council of Jehovah, that he should perceive and hear his word? who hath marked my word, and heard it? ”
“For who has stood in the council of Yahweh, that he should perceive and hear his word? who has marked my word, and heard it?”
“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?”
“For which of them has knowledge of the secret of the Lord, and has seen him, and given ear to his word? which of them has taken note of his word and given attention to it?”
“For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?”
So then I, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, have something to say concerning the prophets of Jerusalem:‘I will make these prophets eat the bitter food of suffering and drink the poison water of judgment. For the prophets of Jerusalem are the reason that ungodliness has spread throughout the land.’”
The LORD of Heaven’s Armies says to the people of Jerusalem:“Do not listen to what those prophets are saying to you. They are filling you with false hopes. They are reporting visions of their own imaginations, not something the LORD has given them to say.
They continually say to those who reject what the LORD has said,‘Things will go well for you!’ They say to all those who follow the stubborn inclinations of their own hearts,‘Nothing bad will happen to you!’
Yet which of them has ever stood in the LORD’s inner circle so they could see and hear what he has to say? Which of them have ever paid attention or listened to what he has said?
But just watch! The wrath of the LORD will come like a storm! Like a raging storm it will rage down on the heads of those who are wicked.
The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he has fully carried out his intended purposes. In days to come you people will come to understand this clearly.
I did not send those prophets. Yet they were in a hurry to give their message. I did not tell them anything. Yet they prophesied anyway.
