Jeremiah 23:21-23
Contemporary English Version
21 I did not send these prophets
or speak to them,
but they ran to find you
and to preach their message.
22 If they had been in a meeting
of my council in heaven,
they would have told
you people of Judah
to give up your sins
and come back to me.
23 I am everywhere—
both near and far,

21 I did not send(A) these prophets,
yet they have run with their message;
I did not speak to them,
yet they have prophesied.

they would have proclaimed(C) my words to my people
and would have turned(D) them from their evil ways
and from their evil deeds.(E)

declares the Lord,
“and not a God far away?
