Jeremiah 23:21-23

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²¹ I did not send these [false] prophets, yet they ran; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.

²² But if they had stood in My council, then they would have caused My people to hear My words, then they would have turned them [My people] from their evil way and from the evil of their doings.

²³ Am I a God at hand, says the Lord, and not a God afar off?
