24:023:022 But if they had stood in my counsel, and
had caused my people
to
hear my words, then they should have turned them from
their
evil
way, and from the evil of their doings.
24:023:023 Am I a God at hand, saith the lord, and not a God afar off?
24:023:024 Can any hide himself in secret places that
I shall not see
him?
saith the lord. Do not I fill heaven and
earth? saith the
lord.
24:023:025 I have heard what the prophets said, that
prophesy lies in my
name,
saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
24:023:026 How long shall this be in the heart of
the prophets that
prophesy
lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their
own
heart;
24:023:027 Which think to cause my people to forget
my name by their
dreams
which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their
fathers
have forgotten my name for Baal.
24:023:028 The prophet that hath a dream, let him
tell a dream; and he
that
hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully.
What is
the
chaff to the wheat? saith the lord.
24:023:029 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the
lord; and like a
hammer
that breaketh the rock in pieces?
24:023:030 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets,
saith the lord,
that
steal my words every one from his neighbour.
24:023:031 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith
the lord, that use
their
tongues, and say, He saith.
24:023:032 Behold, I am against them that prophesy
false dreams, saith
the
lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to
err by
their
lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not,
nor
commanded
them: therefore they shall not profit this people
at
all,
saith the lord.
24:023:033 And when this people, or the prophet, or
a priest, shall ask
thee,
saying, What is the burden of the lord? thou shalt
then
say
unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you,
saith the
lord.
24:023:034 And as for the prophet, and the priest,
and the people, that
shall
say, The burden of the lord, I will even punish
that man
and
his house.
24:023:035 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour,
and every one to
his
brother, What hath the lord answered? and, What
hath the
lord
spoken?
24:023:036 And the burden of the lord shall ye
mention no more: for every
man’s
word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the
words
of the living God, of the lord of hosts our God.
24:023:037 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What
hath the lord
answered
thee? and, What hath the lord spoken?
