Jeremiah 23
Woe
be
unto
the
a
pastors
that
destroy
and
scatter
the
sheep
of
my
pasture!
saith
the
Lord.
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
a
visited
them:
behold,
I
will
visit
upon
you
the
evil
of
your
doings,
saith
the
Lord.
3 And
I
will
a
gather
the
b
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.
4 And
I
will
set
up
a
shepherds
over
them
which
shall
feed
them:
and
they
shall
fear
no
more,
nor
be
dismayed,
neither
shall
they
be
lacking,
saith
the
Lord.
5 Behold,
the
days
come,
saith
the
Lord,
that
I
will
raise
unto
a
David
a
righteous
b
Branch,
and
a
c
King
shall
d
reign
and
prosper,
and
shall
execute
e
judgment
and
f
justice
in
the
earth.
6 In
his
days
Judah
shall
be
saved,
and
Israel
shall
dwell
a
safely:
and
this
is
his
name
whereby
he
shall
be
called,
The
Lord
Our
b
Righteousness.
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;
8 But,
The
Lord
liveth,
which
brought
up
and
which
led
the
seed
of
the
house
of
Israel
out
of
the
a
north
country,
and
from
all
countries
whither
I
had
driven
them;
and
they
shall
dwell
in
their
own
land.
9 Mine
a
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.
10 For
the
land
is
full
of
a
adulterers;
for
because
of
b
swearing
the
land
mourneth;
the
pleasant
places
of
the
wilderness
are
dried
up,
and
their
course
is
evil,
and
their
force
is
not
right.
11 For
both
a
prophet
and
b
priest
are
c
profane;
yea,
in
my
d
house
have
I
found
their
wickedness,
saith
the
Lord.
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
a
visitation,
saith
the
Lord.
13 And
I
have
seen
folly
in
the
prophets
of
Samaria;
they
prophesied
in
Baal,
and
caused
my
people
Israel
to
err.
14 I
have
seen
also
in
the
prophets
of
Jerusalem
an
horrible
thing:
they
commit
a
adultery,
and
walk
in
lies:
they
strengthen
also
the
hands
of
evildoers,
that
none
doth
return
from
his
b
wickedness:
they
are
all
of
them
unto
me
as
Sodom,
and
the
inhabitants
thereof
as
Gomorrah.
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
a
profaneness
gone
forth
into
all
the
land.
16 Thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
Hearken
not
unto
the
words
of
the
prophets
that
a
prophesy
unto
you:
they
make
you
vain:
they
speak
a
b
vision
of
their
own
heart,
and
not
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
Lord.
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.
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
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
a
sent
these
b
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.
23 Am
I
a
God
at
hand,
saith
the
Lord,
and
not
a
God
afar
off?
24 Can
any
a
hide
himself
in
secret
places
that
I
shall
not
see
him?
saith
the
Lord.
Do
not
I
b
fill
heaven
and
earth?
saith
the
Lord.
25 I
have
heard
what
the
prophets
said,
that
a
prophesy
lies
in
my
name,
saying,
I
have
dreamed,
I
have
dreamed.
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;
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.
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.
29 Is
not
my
word
like
as
a
fire?
saith
the
Lord;
and
like
a
hammer
that
breaketh
the
rock
in
pieces?
30 Therefore,
behold,
I
am
against
the
prophets,
saith
the
Lord,
that
steal
my
words
every
one
from
his
neighbour.
31 Behold,
I
am
against
the
prophets,
saith
the
Lord,
that
use
their
tongues,
and
say,
He
saith.
32 Behold,
I
am
against
them
that
prophesy
false
a
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.
33 And
when
this
people,
or
the
prophet,
or
a
priest,
shall
ask
thee,
saying,
What
is
the
a
burden
of
the
Lord?
thou
shalt
then
say
unto
them,
What
burden?
I
will
even
forsake
you,
saith
the
Lord.
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.
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?
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
a
words
of
the
living
God,
of
the
Lord
of
hosts
our
God.
37 Thus
shalt
thou
say
to
the
prophet,
What
hath
the
Lord
answered
thee?
and,
What
hath
the
Lord
spoken?
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;
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:
40 And
I
will
bring
an
everlasting
a
reproach
upon
you,
and
a
perpetual
shame,
which
shall
not
be
forgotten.
