Jeremiah 23:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ When people refuse to listen to me,
    the prophets still encourage them.
They say to them,
    “The Lord will give you peace.”
When people refuse to change their wicked way of life,
    the prophets tell them,
    “Nothing bad will happen to you.”
¹⁸ But none of those prophets has met with the Lord.
    They have not seen him
    and they have not heard his voice.
So none of them has ever listened to him
    to know what he is saying.
¹⁹ But look! The Lord's anger will come
    like a strong storm.
It will blow away the heads of those wicked people.
