Jeremiah 23:21-23

Evangelical Heritage Version

²¹ I did not send these prophets, yet they ran.
I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.
²² But if they had stood in my council,
they would have made my people hear my words,
and they would have turned them from their evil ways
and from their evil deeds.
²³ Am I a God who is only nearby, declares the Lord,
and not a God far away?
