New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Jeremiah 23
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 announced My words to My people, And would have turned them back from their evil way And from the evil of their deeds.
23 "Am I a God who is near," declares the Lord, "And not a God far off?
24 "Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?" declares the Lord. "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" declares the Lord.
25 "I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy falsely in My name, saying, ’I had a dream, I had a dream!’
26 How long? Is there anything in the hearts of the prophets who prophesy falsehood, even these prophets of the deception of their own heart,
27 who intend to make My people forget My name by their dreams which they relate to one another, just as their fathers forgot My name because of Baal?
28 The prophet who has a dream may relate his dream, but let him who has My word speak My word in truth. What does straw have in common with grain?" declares the Lord.
29 "Is not My word like fire?" declares the Lord, "and like a hammer which shatters a rock?
30 Therefore behold, I am against the prophets," declares the Lord, "who steal My words from each other.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets," declares the Lord, "who use their tongues and declare, ’The Lord declares.’
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
