Jeremiah 23:21-23
Easy-to-Read Version
21 I did not send those prophets,
but they ran to tell their messages.
I did not speak to them,
but they spoke in my name.
22 If they had stood in my heavenly council,
then they would have told my messages to the people of Judah.
They would have stopped the people from doing bad things.
They would have stopped them from doing evil.”
23 This message is from the Lord.
“I am God, and I am always near.
I am not far away.

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)
23 “Am I only a God nearby,(F)”
declares the Lord,
“and not a God far away?
