Jeremiah 23:11-21

LEB(i) 11 "For both prophet as well as priest are godless, even in my temple I have found their wickedness," declares* Yahweh. 12 "Therefore* their way will be to them like the slippery places, they will be pushed in the darkness, and they will fall into it, for I will bring disaster on them in the year of their punishment," declares* Yahweh. 13 "Now in the prophets of Samaria I saw a disgusting thing. They prophesied by Baal and they caused my people Israel to err. 14 And in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible. They commit adultery, and they walk in lies,* and they make strong the hands of evildoers, so that they have not turned back each from his wickedness. All of them have become to me like Sodom, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah." 15 Therefore* thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets,
"Look, I am going to let them eat wormwood and I will give them water of poison to drink, for from the prophets of Jerusalem went out ungodliness to all the land." 16 Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
"You must not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are deluding you with visions of their mind,* They do not speak from the mouth of Yahweh. 17 They are* continually saying to those who disregard the word of Yahweh, 'Peace it will be to you,' and to each one* who walks in the stubbornness of his heart they say, 'Calamity will not come upon you.' 18 For who has stood in the council of Yahweh, that he has seen and heard his word? Who has listened attentively to his word and heard it?* 19 Look, the storm of Yahweh has gone forth in wrath, even a whirling tempest. It will whirl upon the head of the wicked. 20 The anger* of Yahweh will not turn back until his doing and until his keeping the plans of his mind.* In latter days* you will look closely at it with understanding. 21 I have not sent the prophets, yet they ran. I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
