Jeremiah 23:16-22 ▼

16 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you. They are leading you into vanity; They speak a vision of their own heart, Not from the mouth of Yahweh.

17 They keep saying to those who spurn Me, ‘Yahweh has said, “You will have peace”’; And as for everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart, They say, ‘Evil will not come upon you.’

18 But who has stood in the council of Yahweh, That he should see and hear His word? Who has given heed to His word and heard?

19 Behold, the storm of Yahweh has gone forth in wrath, Even a whirling storm; It will whirl down on the head of the wicked.

20 The anger of Yahweh will not turn back Until He has done and established the purposes of His heart; In the last days you will clearly understand it.

21 I did not send these prophets, But they ran. I did not speak to them, But they prophesied.

22 But if they had stood in My council, Then they would have caused My words to be heard by My people And would have turned them back from their evil way And from the evil of their deeds.
