Jeremiah 23:21-23
International Standard Version
Jeremiah 23:21-23
International Standard Version
21 I didn’t send these prophets,[a]
but they ran anyway.
I didn’t speak to them,
but they prophesied.
22 If they had stood in my council
and had delivered my words to my people,
then they would have turned them back
from their evil way,
from their evil deeds.”
23 “Am I a God who is near,” declares the Lord,
“rather than a God who is far away?
