Jeremiah 23:22-24

New Catholic Bible

²² But if they had stood in my council,
    they would have then proclaimed my words to my people
and caused them to turn back from their evil ways
    and from the wickedness of their deeds.
²³ The Lord asks:
    Am I a God only when I am near at hand,
    but not when I am far away?
²⁴ Can someone hide in a secret place
    so that I cannot see him?
    Do I not fill heaven and earth?
