Jeremiah 23:21-23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
21 I did not send these prophets,
yet they ran;
I did not speak to them,
yet they prophesied.(A)
22 Had they stood in my council,
they would have proclaimed my words to my people,
They would have brought them back from their evil ways
and from their wicked deeds.
23 Am I a God near at hand only—oracle of the Lord—(B)
and not a God far off?[a]
Footnotes
- 23:23–24 Near at hand only…far off: a divine claim that no one can hide from God and that God is aware of all that happens.
