who hath marked7181 his word1697, and heard8085 {it}? 23:19 Behold, a whirlwind5591 of the LORD3068 is gone forth3318 in fury2534, even a grievous2342 whirlwind5591: it shall fall grievously2342 upon the head7218 of the wicked7563. 23:20 The anger0639 of the LORD3068 shall not return7725, until he have executed6213, and till he have performed6965 the thoughts4209 of his heart3820: in the latter0319 days3117 ye shall consider0995 it perfectly0998. 23:21 I have not sent7971 these prophets5030, yet they ran7323: I have not spoken1696 to them, yet they prophesied5012. 23:22 But if they had stood5975 in my counsel5475, and had caused my people5971 to hear8085 my words1697, then they should have turned7725 them from their evil7451 way1870, and from the evil7455 of their doings4611. 23:23 {Am} I a God0430 at hand7138, saith5002 the LORD3068, and not a God0430 afar off7350? 23:24 Can any0376 hide5641 himself in secret places4565 that I shall not see7200 him? saith5002 the LORD3068. Do not I fill4392 heaven8064 and earth0776? saith5002 the LORD3068. 23:25 I have heard8085 what the prophets5030 said0559, that prophesy5012 lies8267 in my name8034, saying0559, I have dreamed2492, I have dreamed2492. 23:26 How long shall {this} be3426 in the heart3820 of the prophets5030 that prophesy5012 lies8267? yea, {they are} prophets5030 of the deceit8649 of their own heart3820; 23:27 Which think2803 to cause my people5971 to forget7911 my name8034 by their dreams2472 which they tell5608 every man0376 to his neighbour7453, as their fathers0001 have forgotten7911 my name8034 for Baal1168. 23:28 The prophet5030 that hath a dream2472, let him tell5608 a dream2472; and he that hath my word1697, let him speak1696 my word1697 faithfully0571. What {is} the chaff8401 to the wheat1250? saith5002 the LORD3068. 23:29 {Is} not my word1697 like3541 as a fire0784? saith5002 the LORD3068; and like a hammer6360 {that} breaketh6327 the rock5553 in pieces6327? 23:30 Therefore, behold, I {am} against the prophets5030, saith5002 the LORD3068, that steal1589 my words1697 every one0376 from his neighbour7453. 23:31 Behold, I {am} against the prophets5030, saith5002 the LORD3068, that use3947 their tongues3956, and say5001, He saith5002. 23:32 Behold, I {am} against them that prophesy5012 false8267 dreams2472, saith5002 the LORD3068, and do tell5608 them, and cause my people5971 to err8582 by their lies8267, and by their lightness6350; yet I sent7971 them not, nor commanded6680 them: therefore they shall not profit3276 this people5971 at all3276, saith5002 the LORD3068. 23:33 And when this people5971, or the prophet5030, or a priest3548, shall ask7592 thee, saying0559, What {is} the burden4853 of the LORD3068? thou shalt then say0559 unto them, What burden4853? I will even forsake5203 you, saith5002 the LORD3068. 23:34 And {as for} the prophet5030, and the priest3548, and the people5971, that shall say0559, The burden4853 of the LORD3068, I will even punish6485 that man0376 and his house1004. 23:35 Thus shall ye say0559 every one0376 to his neighbour7453, and every one0376 to his brother0251, What hath the LORD3068 answered6030? and, What hath the LORD3068 spoken1696? 23:36 And the burden4853 of the LORD3068 shall ye mention2142 no more: for every man's0376 word1697 shall be his burden4853; for ye have perverted2015 the words1697 of the living2416 God0430, of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 our God0430. 23:37 Thus shalt thou say0559 to the prophet5030, What hath the LORD3068 answered6030 thee? and, What hath the LORD3068 spoken1696? 23:38 But0518 since ye say0559, The burden4853 of the LORD3068; therefore thus saith0559 the LORD3068; Because ye say0559 this word1697, The burden4853 of the LORD3068, and I have sent7971 unto you, saying0559, Ye shall not say0559, The burden4853 of the LORD3068; 23:39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly5377 forget5382 you, and I will forsake5203 you, and the city5892 that I gave5414 you and your fathers0001, {and cast you} out of my presence6440: 23:40 And I will bring5414 an everlasting5769 reproach2781 upon you, and a perpetual5769 shame3640, which shall not be forgotten7911.
