Jeremiah 23:17

The Unfaithful Prophets

¹⁶ This is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says: "Don't listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you; they're giving you false hopes. They declare visions from their own minds they don't come from the LORD! ¹⁷ They keep on saying to those who despise me, "The LORD has said, "You will have peace."' To all who stubbornly follow their own desires they say, "Disaster won't come upon you.' ¹⁸ But who has stood in the LORD's council to see and hear his message? Who has paid attention to his message and obeyed it?

Peace to You
