Jeremiah 23:16-22

Jeremiah 23:16-22

[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.  [17] They say  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. [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? [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.  [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.  [21] I have not sent  these prophets,  yet they ran:  I have not spoken  to them, yet they prophesied.  [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.
