Jeremiah 23:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹ I did not send these prophets.
    But they have run to tell you their message anyway.
I did not speak to them.
    But they have still prophesied.
²² Suppose they had stood in my courts.
    Then they would have announced my message to my people.
They would have turned my people from their evil ways.
    They would have turned them away from their sins.
