NET Bible
"Those prophets are just prophesying lies. They are prophesying the delusions of their own minds."
— Jeremiah 23:26, NET Bible
“How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;”
“How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart? ”
“How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?”
“How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, and that prophesy the delusions of their own heart?”
“Is (my word) in the hearts of the prophets who give out false words, even the prophets of the deceit of their hearts?”
“How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;”
Do you people think that I am some local deity and not the transcendent God?” the LORD asks.
“Do you really think anyone can hide himself where I cannot see him?” the LORD asks.“Do you not know that I am everywhere?” the LORD asks.
The LORD says,“I have heard what those prophets who are prophesying lies in my name are saying. They are saying,‘I have had a dream! I have had a dream!’
Those prophets are just prophesying lies. They are prophesying the delusions of their own minds.
How long will they go on plotting to make my people forget who I am through the dreams they tell one another? That is just as bad as what their ancestors did when they forgot who I am by worshiping the god Baal.
Let the prophet who has had a dream go ahead and tell his dream. Let the person who has received my message report that message faithfully. What is like straw cannot compare to what is like grain! I, the LORD, affirm it!
My message is like a fire that purges dross! It is like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces! I, the LORD, so affirm it!
