RF JER 23:1 Woe Denounced to Wicked Rulers but Restoration to Israel.
"Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!" says the EVER-LIVING,
RF JER 23:2 Therefore, the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel thus addresses the shepherds: "Shepherds of My People, you scatter the sheep, and, chase them away, and do not collect them. Therefore I will impose upon you the wickedness of your proceedings," says the EVER-LIVING.
RF JER 23:3 "But I will collect the remnants of My flock from all the lands where I have driven them, and will restore them to their homes, and they shall be fruitful and multiply.
RF JER 23:4 I will also appoint shepherds over them, who will tend them, and they shall not be terrified, or driven, or injured," says the EVER-LIVING.
RF JER 23:5 "The days also shall come," says the EVER-LIVING, "when I will raise for David a righteous offshoot, and royal king, who will govern, and do justice and right in the land.
RF JER 23:6 In his days Judah shall be safe, and Israel rest in safety, and his Name shall be called 'Our Righteous LORD.'
RF JER 23:7 "Therefore the times shall come," says the EVER-LIVING, "when they shall no more say By the life of the EVER-LIVING Who brought Israel up from the land of the Mitzeraim,'
RF JER 23:8 but, 'By the life of the EVER-LIVING Who brought Israel up, and conducted the race of the House of Israel from the land of the North, and from all the lands where He had driven them, and restored them to their own soil!'"
RF JER 23:9 The Prophets Despair over False Teachers.
My heart is broken in my breast for the Preachers, all my bones shake, I have become like a drunken man, and like a giant overcome by wine, before the EVERLASTING, and before His holy words!
RF JER 23:10 For the land is full of impostors; the land faints before this curse; the pastures of the plains fail, for their courses are bad, and their energies worthless!
RF JER 23:11 The Preacher and the Priest are alike profane. "I have even found their depravities in My House," says the EVER-LIVING.
RF JER 23:12 "Therefore their path shall become slippery, they shall fall in the dark upon it; for I will bring distress upon them in the time of their punishment," says the EVER-LIVING.
RF JER 23:13 "I have also seen the impiety of the Preachers of Shomeron. They preach Bal, and seduce My People Israel!
RF JER 23:14 "And I have seen a terrible thing among the Preachers of Jerusalem; they commit adultery, and walk in falsehood, and strengthen the hands of the wicked, so that no one turns from his wickedness All of them are like Sodom, and the population of Gomorrah to me!"
RF JER 23:15 The LORD OF HOSTS consequently says this against those preachers, "I will consume them with suffering, and give them opiates to drink, for corruption comes to all the country from the preachers of Jerusalem!"
RF JER 23:16 Thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, "Listen not to the messages of the Preachers who preach to you. They preach nonsense to you, a vision from their own hearts. They do not preach from the mouth of the EVER-LIVING.
RF JER 23:17 They say to the despisers of the message of the EVER-LIVING, 'Peace will come to you!' And to all who follow the ideas of their own minds, they say, 'No harm will come upon you!'
RF JER 23:18 However, who stood in the council of the EVER-LIVING, and saw and heard His words? Who listened, and heard His commands?"
RF JER 23:19 Look the furious tempest of the EVER-LIVING has gone forth! A whirling tempest rolls over the head of the wicked.
RF JER 23:20 The anger of the EVER-LIVING will not return until it has worked, and effected the intentions of His mind. You will understand what He intended in times to come.
RF JER 23:21 I did not send those preachers yet they ran; I did not speak to them; yet they preached!
RF JER 23:22 But if they stood in My council, and heard messages to My People, let them turn them from their bad ways, and guide their proceedings!
RF JER 23:23 "Am I a GOD near," the EVER-LIVING asks, "and not a GOD at a distance?
RF JER 23:24 If a man hides himself in shelters, cannot I see him?" asks the EVER-LIVING. "Are not the heavens and the breath of the earth Mine?" Says the EVER-LIVING.
RF JER 23:25 "I can hear what the preachers say who preach falsehood in My name, explaining 'I have dreamed a dream!'
RF JER 23:26 How long is it the intention of the preachers to preach falsehood, and proclaim the deceptions of their hearts?
RF JER 23:27 Who intend to make My People forget My Name by their dreams which they relate each to his companion, as their fathers forgot My Name for Bal.
RF JER 23:28 Let the Reciter who has a dream, tell his dream; but to whoever I have spoken, let him speak truly My message.
"What is the chaff compared to the corn?" the EVER-LIVING asks.
RF JER 23:29 "Is not My command like fire?" asks the EVER-LIVING. "And like a hammer splintering a stone?
RF JER 23:30 Therefore I am against those preachers," says the EVER-LIVING, "who steal messages each from his mate!
RF JER 23:31 I am against those Reciters," says the EVER-LIVING, "who delude by their tongues, and chatter!
RF JER 23:32 I am against the reciters of lying dreams," the EVER-LIVING says, and their recitals, and who delude My People by their lies, and elate them; whom I have not sent, nor instructed, and who cannot help this people," the EVER-LIVING says.
RF JER 23:33 "You, however, when this People, or the Preachers, or the Priest ask you, What is the burden of the EVER-LIVING?' shall reply to them, The burden is I have abandoned you!'"
RF JER 23:34 says the EVER-LIVING, "and the Reciter, or Priest, or Prophet, who says, 'The burden of the EVER LIVING!' I will bring punishment upon that man and upon his family.
RF JER 23:35 Why does everyone ask of his neighbour, and each to his brother, 'What is the answer of the EVER-LIVING?' and 'What is the message from the EVER-LIVING?'
RF JER 23:36 when they will never remember the burden of the EVER-LIVING?—for the burden that has Come to every one is, His own idea,—and they fling away the ideas of the LIVING GOD, the LORD OF HOSTS, OUR GOD!
RF JER 23:37 "However, ask of the Reciter 'What does the EVER-LIVING answer you?' and 'What is the message of the EVER-LIVING?'
RF JER 23:38 If they reply 'A burden from the EVER-LIVING,' then the EVER-LIVING says this, "Answer in return to them, This is the burden of the EVER-LIVING, 'I have sent to you to command you not to proclaim a burden from the EVER-LIVING
RF JER 23:39 Consequently I will lay a burden upon you, and I will abandon you, and this city, which I had given to your forefathers, for having been faithless to me.
RF JER 23:40 Therefore I will make you a reproach for ever, and an everlasting object of scorn, which shall not be extinguished."
