Jeremiah 23:18–27

18 For uwho hath stood in the ||counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? 19 wBehold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even xa grievous whirlwind: wit shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. 20 yThe anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: yzin the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. 21 aI have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. 22 But if they had bstood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have cturned them from their evil way, and from dthe evil of their doings. 23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and enot a God afar off? 24 fCan any hide himself in secret places ethat I shall not see him? saith the Lord. gDo not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord. 25 I have heard what the prophets said, hthat prophesy lies in my name, saying, I ihave dreamed, I have dreamed. 26 How long shall this be in the heart of kthe prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are lprophets of the deceit of their own heart; 27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name iby their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, mas their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
