Jeremiah 23:22-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 23
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?
24
Can a person hide himself in hiding places
So that I do not see him?' declares the
Lord
.
'Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?' declares the
Lord
.
25
I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy falsely in My name, saying, ‘I had a dream, I had a dream!’
26
How long? Is there
anything
in the hearts of the prophets who prophesy falsehood,
these
prophets of the deceitfulness of their own heart,
27
who intend to make My people forget My name by their dreams which they report to one another, just as their fathers forgot My name because of Baal?
28
The prophet who has a dream may report
his
dream, but let him who has My word speak My word truthfully. What does straw have
in common
with grain?' declares the
Lord
.
29
Is My word not like fire?' declares the
Lord
, 'and like a hammer
which
shatters a rock?
30
Therefore behold, I am against the prophets,' declares the
Lord
, 'who steal My words from each other.
King James Version
Chapter 23
22
But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23
Am I a God at hand, saith the
Lord
, and not a God afar off?
24
Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the
Lord
. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the
Lord
.
25
I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27
Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
28
The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the
Lord
.
29
Is not my word like as a fire? saith the
Lord
; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the
Lord
, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 23
22
If they had really stood in my council,
they would have enabled my people to hear my words
and would have turned them from their evil ways
and their evil deeds.
23
"Am I a God who is only near" —this is the
Lord
’s declaration—"and not a God who is far away?
24
Can a person hide in secret places where I cannot see him?" —the
Lord
’s declaration. "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" —the
Lord
’s declaration.
25
"I have heard what the prophets who prophesy a lie in my name have said: ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’
26
How long will this continue in the minds of the prophets prophesying lies, prophets of the deceit of their own minds?
27
Through their dreams that they tell one another, they plan to cause my people to forget my name as their fathers forgot my name through Baal worship.
28
The prophet who has only a dream should recount the dream, but the one who has my word should speak my word truthfully, for what is straw compared to grain?"—this is the
Lord
’s declaration.
29
"Is not my word like fire"—this is the
Lord
’s declaration—"and like a hammer that pulverizes rock?
30
Therefore, take note! I am against the prophets" —the
Lord
’s declaration—"who steal my words from each other.
New Living Translation
Chapter 23
22
If they had stood before me and listened to me,
they would have spoken my words,
and they would have turned my people
from their evil ways and deeds.
23
Am I a God who is only close at hand?' says the
Lord
.
'No, I am far away at the same time.
24
Can anyone hide from me in a secret place?
Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?'
says the
Lord
.
25
I have heard these prophets say, ‘Listen to the dream I had from God last night.’ And then they proceed to tell lies in my name.
26
How long will this go on? If they are prophets, they are prophets of deceit, inventing everything they say.
27
By telling these false dreams, they are trying to get my people to forget me, just as their ancestors did by worshiping the idols of Baal.
28
'Let these false prophets tell their dreams,
but let my true messengers faithfully proclaim my every word.
There is a difference between straw and grain!
29
Does not my word burn like fire?'
says the
Lord
.
'Is it not like a mighty hammer
that smashes a rock to pieces?
30
Therefore,' says the
Lord
, 'I am against these prophets who steal messages from each other and claim they are from me.

23
"Am I a God at hand, declares the

, and not a God far away?
24
Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the
Lord
. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the
Lord
.
25
I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’
26
How long shall there be lies in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart,
27
who think to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, even as their fathers forgot my name for Baal?
28
Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let him who has my word speak my word faithfully. What has straw in common with wheat? declares the
Lord
.
29
Is not my word like fire, declares the
Lord
, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
30
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, declares the
Lord
, who steal my words from one another.

How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds?
27
They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their ancestors forgot my name through Baal worship.
28
Let the prophet who has a dream recount the dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?" declares the
Lord
.
29
"Is not my word like fire," declares the
Lord
, "and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?
30
"Therefore," declares the
Lord
, "I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me.

Then they would have turned them from their evil way
And from the evil of their doings.
23
“
Am
I a God near at hand,” says the
Lord

So I shall not see him?” says the

25
“I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in My name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’

How long will
this
be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed
they are
prophets of the deceit of their own heart,
27
who try to make My people forget My name by their dreams which everyone tells his neighbor, as their fathers forgot My name for Baal.

And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully.
What

not My word like a fire?” says the
Lord
,
“And like a hammer
that
breaks the rock in pieces?

am
against the prophets,” says the
Lord
, “who steal My words every one from his neighbor.
