24:023:017 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.
24:023:018 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?
24:023:019 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.
24:023:020 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.
24:023:021 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not
spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
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.
