Jeremiah 23:14-29 but among the prophets of Jerusalem I saw horrible things; some committing adultery, and some walking in lies, and some strengthening the hands of the multitude, that none might turn from his evil way. To me they are all become like Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof like Gomorra:

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ but among the prophets of Jerusalem I saw horrible things; some committing adultery, and some walking in lies, and some strengthening the hands of the multitude, that none might turn from his evil way. To me they are all become like Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof like Gomorra: ¹⁵ therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold I will feed them with worm wood, and give them the water of gall to drink. Because from the prophets of Jerusalem pollution has gone forth through all the land, ¹⁶ thus saith the Lord Almighty, Hearken not to the words of these prophets; for they contrive for themselves a foolish vision: they speak from their own hearts and not from the mouth of the Lord. ¹⁷ They say to them who reject the word of the Lord, "You shall have peace." Even to all who are walking by their own desires, and to every one walking in the error of his own heart they say, "Evils shall not come upon thee." ¹⁸ For which of them hath stood in the council of the Lord and seen? who hath hearkened and heard his voice?" ¹⁹ Behold a tempest from the Lord and wrath like a hurricane is issuing forth: it will come like a whirlwind upon the wicked; ²⁰ and from the purpose of his heart the wrath of the Lord will not turn away; until it hath executed it; and until he hath established it. In the last of these days they shall perceive this. ²¹ I did not send these prophets, but they ran of themselves; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied. ²² Now had they stood in the firm belief of me and heard my word, they might have turned my people from their wicked pursuits. ²³ I am God when near, saith the Lord; and am I not God when far off? ²⁴ Can any one hide himself in secret places; and I not see him? Do I not fill the heaven and the earth? saith the Lord. ²⁵ I have heard what these prophets speak; what they prophesy in my name, saying falsely, "I have dreamed a dream." ²⁶ How long shall it be in the heart of these prophets, who prophesy lies, that by prophesying the desires of their own hearts; ²⁷ they may count upon causing my name to be forgotten, by their dreams which they tell, every one to his neighbour; as their fathers forgot my name by using Baal? ²⁸ Let the prophet, who hath a dream, tell his dream: and let him, to whom my word cometh, declare it with truth. Why is the chaff added to the wheat? ²⁹ Is not this the case with my words? saith the Lord. Behold are not my words like fire? saith the Lord; and like a sledge which breaketh a rock?
