Where are the witnesses of such predictions?
Who can verify that they spoke the truth?

Jeremiah 2:21-35
New Living Translation
21 But I was the one who planted you,
choosing a vine of the purest stock—the very best.
How did you grow into this corrupt wild vine?
22 No amount of soap or lye can make you clean.
I still see the stain of your guilt.
I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!
Israel, an Unfaithful Wife
23 “You say, ‘That’s not true!
I haven’t worshiped the images of Baal!’
But how can you say that?
Go and look in any valley in the land!
Face the awful sins you have done.
You are like a restless female camel
desperately searching for a mate.
24 You are like a wild donkey,
sniffing the wind at mating time.
Who can restrain her lust?
Those who desire her don’t need to search,
for she goes running to them!
25 When will you stop running?
When will you stop panting after other gods?
But you say, ‘Save your breath.
I’m in love with these foreign gods,
and I can’t stop loving them now!’
26 “Israel is like a thief
who feels shame only when he gets caught.
They, their kings, officials, priests, and prophets—
all are alike in this.
27 To an image carved from a piece of wood they say,
‘You are my father.’
To an idol chiseled from a block of stone they say,
‘You are my mother.’
They turn their backs on me,
but in times of trouble they cry out to me,
‘Come and save us!’
28 But why not call on these gods you have made?
When trouble comes, let them save you if they can!
For you have as many gods
as there are towns in Judah.
29 Why do you accuse me of doing wrong?
You are the ones who have rebelled,”
says the Lord.
30 “I have punished your children,
but they did not respond to my discipline.
You yourselves have killed your prophets
as a lion kills its prey.
31 “O my people, listen to the words of the Lord!
Have I been like a desert to Israel?
Have I been to them a land of darkness?
Why then do my people say, ‘At last we are free from God!
We don’t need him anymore!’
32 Does a young woman forget her jewelry,
or a bride her wedding dress?
Yet for years on end
my people have forgotten me.
33 “How you plot and scheme to win your lovers.
Even an experienced prostitute could learn from you!
34 Your clothing is stained with the blood of the innocent and the poor,
though you didn’t catch them breaking into your houses!
35 And yet you say,
‘I have done nothing wrong.
Surely God isn’t angry with me!’
But now I will punish you severely
because you claim you have not sinned.
Jeremiah 2:21-35
New International Version
Jeremiah 2:21-35
New International Version
21 I had planted(A) you like a choice vine(B)
of sound and reliable stock.
How then did you turn against me
into a corrupt,(C) wild vine?
22 Although you wash(D) yourself with soap(E)
and use an abundance of cleansing powder,
the stain of your guilt is still before me,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.(F)
23 “How can you say, ‘I am not defiled;(G)
I have not run after the Baals’?(H)
See how you behaved in the valley;(I)
consider what you have done.
You are a swift she-camel
running(J) here and there,
24 a wild donkey(K) accustomed to the desert,(L)
sniffing the wind in her craving—
in her heat who can restrain her?
Any males that pursue her need not tire themselves;
at mating time they will find her.
25 Do not run until your feet are bare
and your throat is dry.
But you said, ‘It’s no use!(M)
I love foreign gods,(N)
and I must go after them.’(O)
26 “As a thief is disgraced(P) when he is caught,
so the people of Israel are disgraced—
they, their kings and their officials,
their priests(Q) and their prophets.(R)
27 They say to wood,(S) ‘You are my father,’
and to stone,(T) ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs(U) to me
and not their faces;(V)
yet when they are in trouble,(W) they say,
‘Come and save(X) us!’
28 Where then are the gods(Y) you made for yourselves?
Let them come if they can save you
when you are in trouble!(Z)
For you, Judah, have as many gods
as you have towns.(AA)
29 “Why do you bring charges against me?
You have all(AB) rebelled against me,”
declares the Lord.
30 “In vain I punished your people;
they did not respond to correction.(AC)
Your sword has devoured your prophets(AD)
like a ravenous lion.
31 “You of this generation, consider the word of the Lord:
“Have I been a desert to Israel
or a land of great darkness?(AE)
Why do my people say, ‘We are free to roam;
we will come to you no more’?(AF)
32 Does a young woman forget her jewelry,
a bride her wedding ornaments?
Yet my people have forgotten(AG) me,
days without number.
33 How skilled you are at pursuing(AH) love!
Even the worst of women can learn from your ways.
34 On your clothes is found
the lifeblood(AI) of the innocent poor,
though you did not catch them breaking in.(AJ)
Yet in spite of all this
35 you say, ‘I am innocent;(AK)
he is not angry with me.’
But I will pass judgment(AL) on you
because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’(AM)
