Jeremiah 23:17

The Unfaithful Prophets

¹⁶ This is what Jehovah of Hosts says: Do not listen to what the prophets are saying to you. They fill you with false hope. They speak about visions that they dreamed up. These visions are not from Jehovah. ¹⁷ “They keep saying to those who despise Me,
‘The Lord has said, “You will have peace”’;
And as for everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart,
They say, ‘Calamity will not come upon you.’
¹⁸ Who is in Jehovah's inner circle and sees and hears his word? Who pays attention and listens to his word?

Peace to You

Word of the Lord

Jehovah
