Jeremiah 23:21-23

Tree of Life Version

²¹ “I did not send those prophets,
yet they ran.
I did not speak to them,
yet they prophesied.
²² If they have stood in My council,
then they would have announced My words to My people,
and turned them from their evil way,
and from the evil of their deeds.”
²³ “Am I God only when near”
—it is a declaration of Adonai—
“and not God when far off?
