Jeremiah 23 — Context

21

“I did not send these prophets, yet they hurry forward. I was not speaking to them, yet they were prophesying.

22

If they had stood in my counsel, and if I had made my words known to my people, certainly I would have turned them away from their evil ways and from their most wicked plans.

23

Do you not realize that I am a God close by, says the Lord, and not a God far away?

24

If a man is hidden in concealed places, do I not see him, says the Lord? Do I not fill up heaven and earth, says the Lord?

25

I have heard what the prophets have said, prophesying falsehoods in my name, and also saying: ‘I have dreamed! I have dreamed!’

26

How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who predict what is false, and who prophesy deceptions from their own heart?

27

They want to cause my people to forget my name, by means of their dreams, which each of them describes to his neighbor, just as their fathers forgot my name for the sake of Baal.
