Jeremiah 23:22

The Unfaithful Prophets

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?
