Jeremiah 23
New International Version
The Righteous Branch
23 “Woe to the shepherds(A) who are destroying and scattering(B) the sheep of my pasture!”(C) declares the Lord. 2 Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds(D) who tend my people: “Because you have scattered my flock(E) and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil(F) you have done,” declares the Lord. 3 “I myself will gather the remnant(G) of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture,(H) where they will be fruitful and increase in number. 4 I will place shepherds(I) over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid(J) or terrified, nor will any be missing,(K)” declares the Lord.
5 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will raise up for David[a] a righteous Branch,(L)
a King(M) who will reign(N) wisely
and do what is just and right(O) in the land.
6 In his days Judah will be saved
and Israel will live in safety.(P)
This is the name(Q) by which he will be called:
The Lord Our Righteous Savior.(R)
7 “So then, the days are coming,”(S) declares the Lord, “when people will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’(T) 8 but they will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ Then they will live in their own land.”(U)
Lying Prophets
9 Concerning the prophets:
My heart(V) is broken within me;
all my bones tremble.(W)
I am like a drunken man,
like a strong man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
and his holy words.(X)
10 The land is full of adulterers;(Y)
because of the curse[b](Z) the land lies parched
and the pastures(AA) in the wilderness are withered.(AB)
The prophets follow an evil course
and use their power unjustly.
11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;(AC)
even in my temple(AD) I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(AE)
they will be banished to darkness
and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
in the year they are punished,(AF)”
declares the Lord.
13 “Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal(AG)
and led my people Israel astray.(AH)
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrible:(AI)
They commit adultery and live a lie.(AJ)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(AK)
so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(AL)
They are all like Sodom(AM) to me;
the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(AN)
15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:
“I will make them eat bitter food
and drink poisoned water,(AO)
because from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness(AP) has spread throughout the land.”
16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Do not listen(AQ) to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions(AR) from their own minds,
not from the mouth(AS) of the Lord.
17 They keep saying(AT) to those who despise me,
‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’(AU)
And to all who follow the stubbornness(AV) of their hearts
they say, ‘No harm(AW) will come to you.’
18 But which of them has stood in the council(AX) of the Lord
to see or to hear his word?
Who has listened and heard his word?
19 See, the storm(AY) of the Lord
will burst out in wrath,
a whirlwind(AZ) swirling down
on the heads of the wicked.
20 The anger(BA) of the Lord will not turn back(BB)
until he fully accomplishes
the purposes of his heart.
In days to come
you will understand it clearly.
21 I did not send(BC) these prophets,
yet they have run with their message;
I did not speak to them,
yet they have prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my council,(BD)
they would have proclaimed(BE) my words to my people
and would have turned(BF) them from their evil ways
and from their evil deeds.(BG)
23 “Am I only a God nearby,(BH)”
declares the Lord,
“and not a God far away?
24 Who can hide(BI) in secret places
so that I cannot see them?”
declares the Lord.
“Do not I fill heaven and earth?”(BJ)
declares the Lord.
25 “I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies(BK) in my name. They say, ‘I had a dream!(BL) I had a dream!’ 26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions(BM) of their own minds?(BN) 27 They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget(BO) my name, just as their ancestors forgot(BP) my name through Baal worship.(BQ) 28 Let the prophet who has a dream(BR) recount the dream, but let the one who has my word(BS) speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the Lord. 29 “Is not my word like fire,”(BT) declares the Lord, “and like a hammer(BU) that breaks a rock in pieces?
30 “Therefore,” declares the Lord, “I am against(BV) the prophets(BW) who steal from one another words supposedly from me. 31 Yes,” declares the Lord, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, ‘The Lord declares.’(BX) 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,(BY)” declares the Lord. “They tell them and lead my people astray(BZ) with their reckless lies,(CA) yet I did not send(CB) or appoint them. They do not benefit(CC) these people in the least,” declares the Lord.
False Prophecy
33 “When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, ‘What is the message(CD) from the Lord?’ say to them, ‘What message? I will forsake(CE) you, declares the Lord.’ 34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, ‘This is a message(CF) from the Lord,’ I will punish(CG) them and their household. 35 This is what each of you keeps saying to your friends and other Israelites: ‘What is the Lord’s answer?’(CH) or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 36 But you must not mention ‘a message from the Lord’ again, because each one’s word becomes their own message. So you distort(CI) the words of the living God,(CJ) the Lord Almighty, our God. 37 This is what you keep saying to a prophet: ‘What is the Lord’s answer to you?’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 38 Although you claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ this is what the Lord says: You used the words, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ even though I told you that you must not claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord.’ 39 Therefore, I will surely forget you and cast(CK) you out of my presence along with the city I gave to you and your ancestors. 40 I will bring on you everlasting disgrace(CL)—everlasting shame that will not be forgotten.”

Oracoli messianici. Il re dell'avvenire
23 «Guai ai pastori che fanno perire e disperdono il gregge del mio pascolo». Oracolo del Signore. 2 Perciò dice il Signore, Dio di Israele, contro i pastori che devono pascere il mio popolo: «Voi avete disperso le mie pecore, le avete scacciate e non ve ne siete preoccupati; ecco io mi occuperò di voi e della malvagità delle vostre azioni. Oracolo del Signore. 3 Radunerò io stesso il resto delle mie pecore da tutte le regioni dove le ho lasciate scacciare e le farò tornare ai loro pascoli; saranno feconde e si moltiplicheranno. 4 Costituirò sopra di esse pastori che le faranno pascolare, così che non dovranno più temere né sgomentarsi; di esse non ne mancherà neppure una». Oracolo del Signore.
5 «Ecco, verranno giorni - dice il Signore -
nei quali susciterò a Davide un germoglio giusto,
che regnerà da vero re e sarà saggio
ed eserciterà il diritto e la giustizia sulla terra.
6 Nei suoi giorni Giuda sarà salvato
e Israele starà sicuro nella sua dimora;
questo sarà il nome con cui lo chiameranno:
Signore-nostra-giustizia.
7 Pertanto, ecco, verranno giorni - dice il Signore - nei quali non si dirà più: Per la vita del Signore che ha fatto uscire gli Israeliti dal paese d'Egitto, 8 ma piuttosto: Per la vita del Signore che ha fatto uscire e che ha ricondotto la discendenza della casa di Israele dalla terra del settentrione e da tutte le regioni dove li aveva dispersi; costoro dimoreranno nella propria terra».
Libretto contro i falsi profeti
9 Contro i profeti.
Mi si spezza il cuore nel petto,
tremano tutte le mie membra,
sono come un ubriaco
e come chi è inebetito dal vino,
a causa del Signore e a causa delle sue sante parole.
10 «Poiché il paese è pieno di adùlteri;
a causa della maledizione tutto il paese è in lutto,
si sono inariditi i pascoli della steppa.
Il loro fine è il male
e la loro forza è l'ingiustizia.
11 Perfino il profeta, perfino il sacerdote sono empi,
perfino nella mia casa ho trovato la loro malvagità.
Oracolo del Signore.
12 Perciò la loro strada sarà per essi
come sentiero sdrucciolevole,
saranno sospinti nelle tenebre e cadranno in esse,
poiché io manderò su di essi la sventura,
nell'anno del loro castigo.
Oracolo del Signore.
13 Tra i profeti di Samaria
io ho visto cose stolte.
Essi profetavano in nome di Baal
e traviavano il mio popolo Israele.
14 Ma tra i profeti di Gerusalemme
ho visto cose nefande:
commettono adultèri e praticano la menzogna,
danno mano ai malfattori,
sì che nessuno si converte dalla sua malvagità;
per me sono tutti come Sòdoma
e i suoi abitanti come Gomorra».
15 Perciò dice il Signore degli eserciti contro i
profeti:
«Ecco farò loro ingoiare assenzio
e bere acque avvelenate,
perché dai profeti di Gerusalemme
l'empietà si è sparsa su tutto il paese».
16 Così dice il Signore degli eserciti: «Non ascoltate le parole dei profeti che profetizzano per voi; essi vi fanno credere cose vane, vi annunziano fantasie del loro cuore, non quanto viene dalla bocca del Signore.
17 Essi dicono a coloro
che disprezzano la parola del Signore:
Voi avrete la pace!
e a quanti seguono la caparbietà del loro cuore
dicono: Non vi coglierà la sventura.
18 Ma chi ha assistito al consiglio del Signore, chi l'ha visto e ha udito la sua parola? Chi ha ascoltato la sua parola e vi ha obbedito?
19 Ecco la tempesta del Signore, il suo furore si scatena,
una tempesta travolgente
si abbatte sul capo dei malvagi.
20 Non cesserà l'ira del Signore,
finché non abbia compiuto e attuato
i progetti del suo cuore.
Alla fine dei giorni comprenderete tutto!
21 Io non ho inviato questi profeti
ed essi corrono;
non ho parlato a loro
ed essi profetizzano.
22 Se hanno assistito al mio consiglio,
facciano udire le mie parole al mio popolo
e li distolgano dalla loro condotta perversa
e dalla malvagità delle loro azioni.
23 Sono io forse Dio solo da vicino - dice il Signore -
e non anche Dio da lontano?
24 Può forse nascondersi un uomo nei nascondigli
senza che io lo veda?
Non riempio io il cielo e la terra? Parola del Signore.
25 Ho sentito quanto affermano i profeti che predicono in mio nome menzogne: Ho avuto un sogno, ho avuto un sogno. 26 Fino a quando ci saranno nel mio popolo profeti che predicono la menzogna e profetizzano gli inganni del loro cuore? 27 Essi credono di far dimenticare il mio nome al mio popolo con i loro sogni, che si raccontano l'un l'altro, come i loro padri dimenticarono il mio nome per Baal! 28 Il profeta che ha avuto un sogno racconti il suo sogno; chi ha udito la mia parola annunzi fedelmente la mia parola.
Che cosa ha in comune la paglia con il grano?
Oracolo del Signore.
29 La mia parola non è forse come il fuoco
- oracolo del Signore -
e come un martello che spacca la roccia?
30 Perciò, eccomi contro i profeti
- oracolo del Signore -
i quali si rubano gli uni gli altri le mie parole.
31 Eccomi contro i profeti - oracolo del Signore -
che muovono la lingua per dare oracoli. 32 Eccomi contro i profeti di sogni menzogneri - dice il Signore - che li raccontano e traviano il mio popolo con menzogne e millanterie. Io non li ho inviati né ho dato alcun ordine; essi non gioveranno affatto a questo popolo». Parola del Signore.
33 Quando dunque questo popolo o un profeta o un sacerdote ti domanderà: «Qual è il peso del messaggio del Signore?», tu riferirai loro: «Voi siete il peso del Signore! Io vi rigetterò». Parola del Signore. 34 E il profeta o il sacerdote o il popolo che dica: «Peso del Signore!», io lo punirò nella persona e nella famiglia. 35 Direte l'uno all'altro: «Che cosa ha risposto il Signore?» e: «Che cosa ha detto il Signore?». 36 Non farete più menzione di peso del Signore, altrimenti per chiunque la sua stessa parola sarà considerata un peso per avere travisato le parole del Dio vivente, del Signore degli eserciti, nostro Dio. 37 Così dirai al profeta: «Che cosa ti ha risposto il Signore?» e: «Che cosa ha detto il Signore?». 38 Ma se direte «Peso del Signore», allora così parla il Signore: «Poiché ripetete: Peso del Signore, mentre vi avevo ordinato di non dire più: Peso del Signore, 39 ecco, proprio per questo, io mi caricherò di voi come di un peso e getterò lontano dal mio volto voi e la città che ho dato a voi e ai vostri padri. 40 Vi coprirò di obbrobrio perenne e di confusione perenne, che non sarà mai dimenticata».

Los malos pastores y regreso del remanente
23 «¡Ay de los pastores que destruyen y dispersan las ovejas de Mis prados(A)!», declara el Señor(B). 2 Por tanto, así dice el Señor, Dios de Israel, acerca de los pastores que apacientan a Mi pueblo: «Ustedes han dispersado Mis ovejas y las han ahuyentado, y no se han ocupado de ellas. Por eso Yo me encargaré de ustedes por la maldad de sus obras(C)», declara el Señor. 3 «Yo mismo reuniré el remanente de Mis ovejas de todas las tierras adonde las he echado, y las haré volver a sus pastos; y crecerán y se multiplicarán(D). 4 Pondré sobre ellas pastores que las apacentarán(E), y nunca más tendrán temor, ni se aterrarán(F), ni faltará ninguna de ellas(G)», declara el Señor.
5 ¶«Vienen días», declara el Señor(H),
«En que levantaré a David un Renuevo justo;
Y Él reinará como rey(I), actuará sabiamente[a],
Y practicará el derecho y la justicia(J) en la tierra(K).
6 -»En sus días Judá será salvada,
E Israel morará seguro(L);
Y este es Su nombre por el cual será llamado(M):
“El Señor, justicia nuestra(N)”.
7 Por tanto, vienen días», declara el Señor, «cuando no dirán más: “Vive el Señor, que hizo subir a los israelitas de la tierra de Egipto(O)”, 8 sino: “Vive el Señor que hizo subir y trajo a los descendientes[b] de la casa de Israel de la tierra del norte y de todas las tierras adonde los había echado”. Entonces habitarán en su propio suelo(P)».
9 En cuanto a los profetas:
Quebrantado está mi corazón dentro de mí,
Tiemblan todos mis huesos(Q);
Estoy como un ebrio,
Como un hombre a quien domina el vino,
Por causa del Señor
Y por causa de Sus santas palabras.
10 Porque la tierra está llena de adúlteros;
Porque a causa de la maldición se ha enlutado la tierra(R),
Se han secado los pastos del desierto(S).
Pues es mala la carrera de ellos
Y su poderío no es recto.
11 «Porque tanto el profeta como el sacerdote están corrompidos(T);
Aun en Mi casa he hallado su maldad», declara el Señor.
12 «Por tanto, su camino será para ellos como sendas resbaladizas;
Serán empujados a las tinieblas(U) y en ellas caerán(V);
Porque traeré sobre ellos calamidad
En el año de su castigo(W)», declara el Señor.
13 ¶«Además, entre los profetas(X) de Samaria he visto algo ofensivo:
Profetizaban en nombre de Baal y extraviaban a Mi pueblo(Y) Israel.
14 -»También entre los profetas de Jerusalén he visto algo horrible(Z):
Cometían[c] adulterio y andaban[d] en mentiras(AA);
Fortalecían las manos de los malhechores,
Sin convertirse ninguno de su maldad(AB).
Todos ellos son para Mí como Sodoma,
Y sus habitantes como Gomorra(AC).
15 Por tanto, así dice el Señor de los ejércitos acerca de los profetas:
“Voy a darles de comer ajenjo
Y hacerles que beban agua envenenada(AD),
Porque de los profetas de Jerusalén
Ha salido la corrupción a todo el país”».
16 Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos:
«No escuchen las palabras de los profetas que les profetizan(AE).
Ellos los conducen hacia lo vano(AF);
Les cuentan[e] las visiones de su propia fantasía[f](AG),
No de la boca del Señor(AH).
17 -»Dicen de continuo a los que me desprecian(AI):
“El Señor ha dicho: ‘Tendrán paz(AJ)’”;
Y a todo el que anda en la terquedad de su corazón(AK)
Dicen: “No vendrá calamidad sobre ustedes(AL)”.
18 -»Pero ¿quién ha estado en el consejo del Señor,
Y vio y oyó Su palabra(AM)?
¿Quién ha prestado atención a Su[g] palabra y la ha escuchado(AN)?
19 -»La tempestad del Señor ha salido con furor,
Un torbellino impetuoso
Descargará sobre la cabeza de los impíos(AO).
20 -»No se apartará la ira del Señor
Hasta que haya realizado y llevado a cabo los propósitos(AP) de Su corazón(AQ).
En los postreros días lo entenderán(AR) claramente.
21 -»Yo no envié a esos profetas,
Pero ellos corrieron;
No les hablé,
Mas ellos profetizaron(AS).
22 -»Pero si ellos hubieran estado en Mi consejo,
Habrían hecho oír Mis palabras(AT) a Mi pueblo,
Y lo habrían hecho volver de su mal camino
Y de la maldad de sus obras(AU).
23 ¶»¿Acaso soy Yo un Dios solo de cerca», declara el Señor,
«Y no un Dios de lejos(AV)?».
24 «¿Podrá alguien esconderse en escondites
De modo que Yo no lo vea(AW)?», declara el Señor.
«¿No lleno Yo los cielos y la tierra?», declara el Señor(AX).
25 «He oído(AY) lo que dicen los profetas que profetizan mentira en Mi nombre(AZ), diciendo: “¡He tenido un sueño, he tenido un sueño(BA)!”. 26 ¿Hasta cuándo? ¿Qué hay en los corazones de los profetas que profetizan la mentira, de los profetas que proclaman el engaño(BB) de su corazón, 27 que tratan de que Mi pueblo se olvide de Mi nombre con los sueños(BC) que se cuentan unos a otros, tal como sus padres olvidaron Mi nombre a causa de Baal(BD)? 28 El profeta que tenga un sueño, que cuente su sueño, pero el que tenga Mi palabra, que hable Mi palabra con fidelidad(BE). ¿Qué tiene que ver la paja(BF) con el grano?», declara el Señor. 29 «¿No es Mi palabra como fuego», declara el Señor(BG), «y como martillo que despedaza(BH) la roca[h]?».
30 «Por tanto, estoy contra los profetas», declara el Señor, «que se roban Mis palabras el uno al otro(BI). 31 Estoy contra los profetas», declara el Señor, «que usan sus lenguas y dicen: “El Señor declara”. 32 Estoy contra los que profetizan sueños falsos(BJ)», declara el Señor, «y los cuentan y hacen errar a Mi pueblo con sus mentiras(BK) y sus presunciones(BL), cuando Yo no los envié ni les di órdenes(BM), ni son de provecho alguno para este pueblo», declara el Señor.
33 «Así que cuando te pregunte este pueblo, o el profeta(BN), o un sacerdote: “¿Cuál es el oráculo[i] del Señor?”, les dirás: “¿Cuál oráculo?”. El Señor declara: “Yo los abandonaré(BO)”. 34 Y al profeta, al sacerdote o al pueblo que diga(BP): “Oráculo del Señor”, traeré castigo sobre tal hombre y sobre su casa. 35 Así dirá cada uno a su prójimo y cada uno a su hermano: “¿Qué ha respondido el Señor(BQ)? ¿Qué ha hablado el Señor?”. 36 Y no se acordarán más del oráculo del Señor(BR), porque la palabra de cada uno le será por oráculo, pues han pervertido las palabras del Dios viviente, del Señor de los ejércitos, nuestro Dios(BS).
37 »Jeremías, así dirás al profeta: “¿Qué te ha respondido el Señor? ¿Qué ha hablado el Señor?”. 38 Pero si ustedes dicen: “¡Oráculo del Señor!”, entonces así dice el Señor: “Por cuanto han dicho esta palabra: ‘¡Oráculo del Señor!’, habiendo Yo enviado a decirles: ‘No digan: “¡Oráculo del Señor!”’”. 39 Por tanto, ciertamente me olvidaré de ustedes y los echaré de Mi presencia, junto con la ciudad que les di a ustedes y a sus padres(BT); 40 y pondré sobre ustedes oprobio eterno y humillación eterna que nunca será olvidada(BU)».
Jeremiah 23

Jeremiah 23
King James Version
23 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.
2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord.
5 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness.
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
9 Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the Lord, and because of the words of his holiness.
10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.
25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.
29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord.
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even punish that man and his house.
35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and, What hath the Lord spoken?
36 And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.
37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and, What hath the Lord spoken?
38 But since ye say, The burden of the Lord; therefore thus saith the Lord; Because ye say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord;
39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:
40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
