ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

JER-23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the

sheep of my

pasture! saith the LORD.

JER-23:2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against

the pastors that

feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away,

and have not

visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your

doings, saith the

LORD.

JER-23:3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all

countries

whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their

folds; and they

shall be fruitful and increase.

JER-23:4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed

them: and

they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be

lacking, saith

the LORD.

JER-23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will

raise unto David

a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and

shall execute

judgment and justice in the earth.

JER-23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall

dwell safely: and

this [is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR

RIGHTEOUSNESS.

JER-23:7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that

they shall no

more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of

Israel out of the

land of Egypt;

JER-23:8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led

the seed of the

house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries

whither I had

driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

JER-23:9 Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets;

all my bones

shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath

overcome,

because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.

JER-23:10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of

swearing the

land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried

up, and their

course is evil, and their force [is] not right.

JER-23:11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my

house have I

found their wickedness, saith the LORD.

JER-23:12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery

[ways] in the

darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will

bring evil

upon them, [even] the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

JER-23:13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria;

they prophesied

in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

JER-23:14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an

horrible thing:

they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the

hands of

evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are

all of them

unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

JER-23:15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the

prophets;

Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the

water of gall:

for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth

into all the

land.

JER-23:16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the

words of the

prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak

a vision of

their own heart, [and] not out of the mouth of the LORD.

JER-23:17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD

hath said, Ye

shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after

the

imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

JER-23:18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and

hath perceived

and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard [it]?

JER-23:19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury,

even a

grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of

the wicked.

JER-23:20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have

executed, and

till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter

days ye shall

consider it perfectly.

JER-23:21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have

not spoken to

them, yet they prophesied.

JER-23:22 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.

JER-23:23 [Am] I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God

afar off?

JER-23:24 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.

JER-23:25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy

lies in my name,

saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

JER-23:26 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;

JER-23:27 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.

JER-23:28 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.

JER-23:29 [Is] not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and

like a hammer

[that] breaketh the rock in pieces?

JER-23:30 Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith

the LORD,

that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

JER-23:31 Behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith the LORD,

that use their

tongues, and say, He saith.

JER-23:32 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.

JER-23:33 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.

JER-23:34 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.

JER-23:35 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?

JER-23:36 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.

JER-23:37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the

LORD answered

thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?

JER-23:38 But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore

thus saith the

LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I

have sent unto

you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;

JER-23:39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you,

and I will

forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, [and

cast you] out

of my presence:

JER-23:40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you,

and a perpetual

shame, which shall not be forgotten.
