Jeremiah 23:11-22
because both prophet and priest are ungodly, even in My house I have found their evil. This is the Lord’s declaration.Therefore, their way will be to them like slippery paths in the gloom. They will be driven away and fall down there, for I will bring disaster on them, the year of their punishment. This is the Lord’s declaration.Among the prophets of Samaria I saw something disgusting: They prophesied by Baal and led My people Israel astray.Among the prophets of Jerusalem also I saw a horrible thing: They commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, and none turns his back on evil. They are all like Sodom to Me; Jerusalem’s residents are like Gomorrah.Therefore, this is what the Lord of Hosts says concerning the prophets: I am about to feed them wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink, for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has spread throughout the land.This is what the Lord of Hosts says:“ Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are making you worthless. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the Lord’s mouth.They keep on saying to those who despise Me,‘ The Lord has said: You will have peace.’ They have said to everyone who follows the stubbornness of his heart,‘ No harm will come to you.’”For who has stood in the council of the Lord to see and hear His word? Who has paid attention to His word and obeyed?Look, a storm from the Lord! Wrath has gone out, a whirling storm. It will whirl about the heads of the wicked.The Lord’s anger will not turn back until He has completely fulfilled the purposes of His heart. In time to come you will understand it clearly.I did not send these prophets, yet they ran with a message. I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.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.
