Jeremiah 23:14-29 But, among the prophets of Jerusalem, have I seen a horrible thing,––Committing adultery, And walking in falsehood, And so strengthening the hands of doers of wickedness, not to return any man from his wickedness: They have, all of them, become, to me, as Sodom, And her inhabitants, as Gomorrah.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ But, among the prophets of Jerusalem, have I seen a horrible thing,––Committing adultery, And walking in falsehood, And so strengthening the hands of doers of wickedness, not to return any man from his wickedness: They have, all of them, become, to me, as Sodom, And her inhabitants, as Gomorrah. ¹⁵ Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Concerning the prophets,––Behold me! Feeding them with wormwood, And I will cause them to drink poisoned water,––For, from the prophets of Jerusalem, hath there gone forth profanity unto all the land. ¹⁶ Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts,––Do not hearken unto the words of the prophets who are prophesying unto you, They, are filling you, with vain, hopes,––The vision of their own hearts, do they speak, Not from the mouth of Yahweh! ¹⁷ They keep on saying to them who despise me, Yahweh, hath spoken, [saying], Prosperity, shall ye have! And, to every one who is going on in the stubbornness of his own heart, have they said, There shall come on you, no calamity; ¹⁸ For who, hath stood in the council of Yahweh, that he should see, and hear his word? Who hath given ear to his word, and heard it? ¹⁹ Lo! the tempest of Yahweh! Indignation, hath come forth, Even a tempest whirling along: On the head of the lawless, shall it hurl itself down. ²⁰ The anger of Yahweh, wilt not return, Until he hath executed, nor, Until he hath established, The purposes of his heart,––In the afterpart of the days, shall ye understand it, perfectly. ²¹ I sent not the prophets, yet, they, ran, I spake not unto them, yet, they, prophesied. ²² But, if they had stood in my council, Then might they have announced my words unto my people, And have turned them from their wicked, way and from the wickedness of their doings. ²³ Am I, a God at hand, Demandeth Yahweh, And not a God afar off? ²⁴ Can any hide, himself in secret places, that, I, shall not see him? Demandeth Yahweh,––The heavens and the earth, do I, not fill? Demandeth Yahweh. ²⁵ I have heard what the prophets, have said, who prophesy in my name falsely, saying,––I have dreamed! I have dreamed! ²⁶ How long, shall it be, in the heart of the prophets, [To be] prophets of falsehood,––And prophets of the deceit of their own heart? ²⁷ Who lay a plot to cause my people, to forget, my name, by their dreams which they relate, every man to his neighbour,––Just as their fathers forgat, my name, for Baal. ²⁸ The prophet with whom is a dream, Let him relate it as, a dream, And, he with whom is my word, Let him speak my word as, truth,––What is the chaff, to the wheat? Demandeth Yahweh: ²⁹ Is not my word, like this, Like fire? Demandeth Yahweh,––And like a hammer, that breaketh in pieces a cliff?
