Jeremiah 23:21-23
Complete Jewish Bible
21 “I did not send these prophets; yet they ran.
I did not speak to them; yet they prophesied.
22 If they have been present at my council,
they should let my people hear my words
and turn them from their evil way
and the evil of their actions.
23 Am I God only when near,” asks Adonai,
“and not when far away?

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

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)

“and not a God far away?
