Jeremiah 23:22

The Unfaithful Prophets

²¹ I did not send these prophets,
yet they ran with a message.
I did not speak to them,
yet they prophesied.
²² If they had really stood in My council,
they would have enabled My people to hear My words
and would have turned them back 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?
