Jeremiah 23:16-19, 21, 25-32

16 Yahweh of Armies says, “Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They teach you vanity. They speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of Yahweh.

17 They say continually to those who despise me, ‘Yahweh has said, “You will have peace;”’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, ‘No evil will come on you.’

18 For who has stood in the council of Yahweh, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has listened to my word, and heard it?

19 Behold, Yahweh’s storm, his wrath, has gone out. Yes, a whirling storm: It will burst on the head of the wicked.

20 Yahweh’s anger will not return until he has executed, and until he has performed the intents of his heart. In the latter days, you will understand it perfectly.

21 I didn’t send these prophets, yet they ran. I didn’t speak to them, yet they prophesied.

25 “I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’

26 How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?

30 “Therefore behold, I am against the prophets,” says Yahweh, “who each steal my words from his neighbor.

31 Behold, I am against the prophets,” says Yahweh, “who use their tongues, and say, ‘Yahweh says.’

32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams,” says Yahweh, “who tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting; yet I didn’t send them or command them. They don’t profit this people at all,” says Yahweh.
