Jeremiah 23:21-23

Lexham English Bible

²¹ I have not sent the prophets, yet they ran.
    I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
²² But if they had stood in my council,
    then they would have proclaimed my words to my people,
and they would have caused them to turn from their evil way,
    and from the evil of their deeds.
²³ Am I a God from near,” declares^[a] Yahweh,
    “and not a God from far?
