23"Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!" declares the LORD.H1945H7462H6H6327H6629H4830H5002H3068 2Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel concerning the shepherds who are tending My people: "You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them; behold, I am about to attend to you for the evil of your deeds," declares the LORD.H559H3068H430H3478H7462H7462H5971H6327H6629H5080H6485H6485H7455H4611H5002H3068 3"Then I Myself shall gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and shall bring them back to their pasture; and they will be fruitful and multiply.H6908H7611H6629H776H5080H7725H5116H6509H7235 4"I shall also raise up shepherds over them and they will tend them; and they will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any be missing," declares the LORD.H6965H7462H7462H3372H2865H6485H5002H3068 5"Behold, [the] days are coming," declares the LORD, "When I shall raise up for David a righteous Branch; And He will reign as king and act wisely And do justice and righteousness in the land.H3117H935H5002H3068H6965H1732H6662H6780H4428H4427H7919H6213H4941H6666H776 6"In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell securely; And this is His name by which He will be called, 'The LORD our righteousness.'H3117H3063H3467H3478H7931H983H8034H7121H3072 7"Therefore behold, [the] days are coming," declares the LORD, "when they will no longer say, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt,'H3117H935H5002H3068H559H3068H2416H5927H1121H3478H776H4714 8but, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up and led back the descendants of the household of Israel from [the] north land and from all the countries where I had driven them.' Then they will live on their own soil. "H3068H2416H5927H935H2233H1004H3478H6828H776H776H5080H3427H127 9As for the prophets: My heart is broken within me, All my bones tremble; I have become like a drunken man, Even like a man overcome with wine, Because of the LORD And because of His holy words.H3820H7130H7665H5030H6106H7363H7910H376H1397H3196H5674H6440H3068H1697H6944 10For the land is full of adulterers; For the land mourns because of the curse. The pastures of the wilderness have dried up. Their course also is evil, And their might is not right.H776H4390H5003H6440H423H776H56H4999H4057H3001H4794H7451H1369 11"For both prophet and priest are polluted; Even in My house I have found their wickedness," declares the LORD.H5030H3548H2610H1004H4672H7451H5002H3068 12"Therefore their way will be like slippery paths to them, They will be driven away into the gloom and fall down in it; For I shall bring calamity upon them, The year of their punishment," declares the LORD.H1870H2519H653H1760H5307H935H7451H8141H6486H5002H3068 13"Moreover, among the prophets of Samaria I saw an offensive thing: They prophesied by Baal and led My people Israel astray.H7200H8604H5030H8111H5012H1168H5971H3478H8582 14"Also among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: The committing of adultery and walking in falsehood; And they strengthen the hands of evildoers, So that no one has turned back from his wickedness. All of them have become to Me like Sodom, And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.H7200H5030H3389H8186H5003H1980H8267H2388H3027H7489H376H7725H7451H5467H3427H6017 15"Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets, 'Behold, I am going to feed them wormwood And make them drink poisonous water, For from the prophets of Jerusalem Pollution has gone forth into all the land.'"H559H3068H6635H5030H398H3939H8248H4325H7219H5030H3389H2613H3318H776 16Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you. They are leading you into futility; They speak a vision of their own imagination, Not from the mouth of the LORD.H559H3068H6635H8085H1697H5030H5012H1891H1696H2377H3820H6310H3068 17"They keep saying to those who despise Me, 'The LORD has said," You will have peace"'; And as for everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart, They say, 'Calamity will not come upon you.'H559H559H5006H3068H1696H7965H559H1980H8307H3820H7451H935 18"But who has stood in the council of the LORD, That he should see and hear His word? Who has given heed to His word and listened?H5975H5475H3068H7200H8085H1697H7181H1697H8085 19"Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone forth in wrath, Even a whirling tempest; It will swirl down on the head of the wicked.H5591H3068H3318H2534H2342H5591H2342H7218H7563 20"The anger of the LORD will not turn back Until He has performed and carried out the purposes of His heart; In the last days you will clearly understand it.H639H3068H7725H6213H6965H4209H3820H319H3117H995H998 21"I did not send [these] prophets, But they ran. I did not speak to them, But they prophesied.H7971H5030H7323H1696H5012 22"But if they had stood in My council, Then they would have announced My words to My people, And would have turned them back from their evil way And from the evil of their deeds.H5975H5475H5971H8085H1697H7725H7451H1870H7455H4611 23"Am I a God who is near," declares the LORD, "And not a God far off?H430H7138H5002H3068H430H7350 24"Can a man hide himself in hiding places, So I do not see him?" declares the LORD. "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" declares the LORD.H376H5641H4565H7200H5002H3068H4392H8064H776H5002H3068 25"I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy falsely in My name, saying, 'I had a dream, I had a dream!'H8085H5030H559H5012H8267H8034H559H2492H2492 26"How long? Is there [anything] in the hearts of the prophets who prophesy falsehood, even [these] prophets of the deception of their own heart,H3426H3820H5030H5012H8267H5030H8649H3820 27who intend to make My people forget My name by their dreams which they relate to one another, just as their fathers forgot My name because of Baal?H2803H5971H7911H8034H2472H5608H376H7453H1H7911H8034H1168 28"The prophet who has a dream may relate [his] dream, but let him who has My word speak My word in truth. What does straw have [in common] with grain?" declares the LORD.H5030H2472H5608H2472H1697H1696H1697H571H8401H1250H5002H3068 29"Is not My word like fire?" declares the LORD, "and like a hammer which shatters a rock?H1697H3541H784H5002H3068H6360H6327H5553H6327 30"Therefore behold, I am against the prophets," declares the LORD, "who steal My words from each other.H5030H5002H3068H1589H1697H376H7453 31"Behold, I am against the prophets," declares the LORD, "who use their tongues and declare, '[The Lord] declares.'H5030H5002H3068H3947H3956H5001H5002 32"Behold, I am against those who have prophesied false dreams," declares the LORD, "and related them, and led My people astray by their falsehoods and reckless boasting; yet I did not send them or command them, nor do they furnish this people the slightest benefit," declares the LORD.H5012H8267H2472H5002H3068H5608H5971H8582H8267H6350H7971H6680H3276H5971H3276H5002H3068 33"Now when this people or the prophet or a priest asks you saying, 'What is the oracle of the LORD?' then you shall say to them, 'What oracle?' The LORD declares, 'I shall abandon you.'H5971H5030H3548H7592H559H4853H3068H559H4853H5203H5002H3068 34"Then as for the prophet or the priest or the people who say, 'The oracle of the LORD,' I shall bring punishment upon that man and his household.H5030H3548H5971H559H4853H3068H6485H376H1004 35"Thus shall each of you say to his neighbor and to his brother, 'What has the LORD answered?' or, 'What has the LORD spoken?'H559H376H7453H376H251H3068H6030H3068H1696 36"For you will no longer remember the oracle of the LORD, because every man's own word will become the oracle, and you have perverted the words of the living God, the LORD of hosts, our God.H4853H3068H2142H376H1697H4853H2015H1697H2416H430H3068H6635H430 37"Thus you will say to [that] prophet, 'What has the LORD answered you?' and, 'What has the LORD spoken?'H559H5030H3068H6030H3068H1696 38"For if you say, 'The oracle of the LORD!' surely thus says the LORD, 'Because you said this word," The oracle of the LORD !"I have also sent to you, saying," You shall not say,' The oracle of the LORD !' "'H518H559H4853H3068H559H3068H559H1697H4853H3068H7971H559H559H4853H3068 39"Therefore behold, I shall surely forget you and cast you away from My presence, along with the city which I gave you and your fathers.H5377H5382H5203H5892H5414H1H6440 40"And I will put an everlasting reproach on you and an everlasting humiliation which will not be forgotten."H5414H5769H2781H5769H3640H7911
