Jeremiah 23:21-23

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²²But if they had stood in my council,
    then they would have proclaimed my words to my people,
and they would have turned them from their evil way,
    and from the evil of their doings.

²³Am I a God near by, says the Lord, and not a God far off?
