23"Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!" declares the LORD.H1945H7462H6H6327H6629H4830H5002H3068 2Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who care for my people: "You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds, declares the LORD.H559H3068H430H3478H7462H7462H5971H6327H6629H5080H6485H6485H7455H4611H5002H3068 3Then I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply.H6908H7611H6629H776H5080H7725H5116H6509H7235 4I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, declares the LORD.H6965H7462H7462H3372H2865H6485H5002H3068 5"Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.H3117H935H5002H3068H6965H1732H6662H6780H4428H4427H7919H6213H4941H6666H776 6In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: 'The LORD is our righteousness.'H3117H3063H3467H3478H7931H983H8034H7121H3072 7"Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they shall no longer say, 'As the LORD lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt,'H3117H935H5002H3068H559H3068H2416H5927H1121H3478H776H4714 8but 'As the LORD lives who brought up and led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he had driven them.' Then they shall dwell in their own land."H3068H2416H5927H935H2233H1004H3478H6828H776H776H5080H3427H127 9Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken within me; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, like a man overcome by wine, because of the LORD and because of his holy words.H3820H7130H7665H5030H6106H7363H7910H376H1397H3196H5674H6440H3068H1697H6944 10For the land is full of adulterers; because of the curse the land mourns, and the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right.H776H4390H5003H6440H423H776H56H4999H4057H3001H4794H7451H1369 11"Both prophet and priest are ungodly; even in my house I have found their evil, declares the LORD.H5030H3548H2610H1004H4672H7451H5002H3068 12Therefore their way shall be to them like slippery paths in the darkness, into which they shall be driven and fall, for I will bring disaster upon them in the year of their punishment, declares the LORD.H1870H2519H653H1760H5307H935H7451H8141H6486H5002H3068 13In the prophets of Samaria I saw an unsavory thing: they prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel astray.H7200H8604H5030H8111H5012H1168H5971H3478H8582 14But in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies; they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his evil; all of them have become like Sodom to me, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah."H7200H5030H3389H8186H5003H1980H8267H2388H3027H7489H376H7725H7451H5467H3427H6017 15Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: "Behold, I will feed them with bitter food and give them poisoned water to drink, for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land."H559H3068H6635H5030H398H3939H8248H4325H7219H5030H3389H2613H3318H776 16Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.H559H3068H6635H8085H1697H5030H5012H1891H1696H2377H3820H6310H3068 17They say continually to those who despise the word of the LORD, 'It shall be well with you'; and to everyone who stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, 'No disaster shall come upon you.'"H559H559H5006H3068H1696H7965H559H1980H8307H3820H7451H935 18For who among them has stood in the council of the LORD to see and to hear his word, or who has paid attention to his word and listened?H5975H5475H3068H7200H8085H1697H7181H1697H8085 19Behold, the storm of the LORD! Wrath has gone forth, a whirling tempest; it will burst upon the head of the wicked.H5591H3068H3318H2534H2342H5591H2342H7218H7563 20The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he has executed and accomplished the intents of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it clearly.H639H3068H7725H6213H6965H4209H3820H319H3117H995H998 21"I did not send the prophets, yet they ran; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.H7971H5030H7323H1696H5012 22But if they had stood in my council, then they would have proclaimed my words to my people, and they would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their deeds.H5975H5475H5971H8085H1697H7725H7451H1870H7455H4611 23"Am I a God at hand, declares the LORD, and not a God far away?H430H7138H5002H3068H430H7350 24Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the LORD.H376H5641H4565H7200H5002H3068H4392H8064H776H5002H3068 25I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying, 'I have dreamed, I have dreamed!'H8085H5030H559H5012H8267H8034H559H2492H2492 26How long shall there be lies in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart,H3426H3820H5030H5012H8267H5030H8649H3820 27who think to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, even as their fathers forgot my name for Baal?H2803H5971H7911H8034H2472H5608H376H7453H1H7911H8034H1168 28Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let him who has my word speak my word faithfully. What has straw in common with wheat? declares the LORD.H5030H2472H5608H2472H1697H1696H1697H571H8401H1250H5002H3068 29Is not my word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?H1697H3541H784H5002H3068H6360H6327H5553H6327 30Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, declares the LORD, who steal my words from one another.H5030H5002H3068H1589H1697H376H7453 31Behold, I am against the prophets, declares the LORD, who use their tongues and declare, 'declares the LORD.'H5030H5002H3068H3947H3956H5001H5002 32Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the LORD, and who tell them and lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when I did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the LORD.H5012H8267H2472H5002H3068H5608H5971H8582H8267H6350H7971H6680H3276H5971H3276H5002H3068 33"When one of this people, or a prophet or a priest asks you, 'What is the burden of the LORD?' you shall say to them, 'You are the burden, and I will cast you off, declares the LORD.'H5971H5030H3548H7592H559H4853H3068H559H4853H5203H5002H3068 34And as for the prophet, priest, or one of the people who says, 'The burden of the LORD,' I will punish that man and his household.H5030H3548H5971H559H4853H3068H6485H376H1004 35Thus shall you say, every one to his neighbor and every one to his brother, 'What has the LORD answered?' or 'What has the LORD spoken?'H559H376H7453H376H251H3068H6030H3068H1696 36But 'the burden of the LORD' you shall mention no more, for the burden is every man's own word, and you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of hosts, our God.H4853H3068H2142H376H1697H4853H2015H1697H2416H430H3068H6635H430 37Thus you shall say to the prophet, 'What has the LORD answered you?' or 'What has the LORD spoken?'H559H5030H3068H6030H3068H1696 38But if you say, 'The burden of the LORD,' thus says the LORD, 'Because you have said these words, "The burden of the LORD," when I sent to you, saying, "You shall not say, 'The burden of the LORD,'"H518H559H4853H3068H559H3068H559H1697H4853H3068H7971H559H559H4853H3068 39therefore, behold, I will surely lift you up and cast you away from my presence, you and the city that I gave to you and your fathers.H5377H5382H5203H5892H5414H1H6440 40And I will bring upon you everlasting reproach and perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.'"H5414H5769H2781H5769H3640H7911
