“They say continually to those who despise me,‘Yahweh has said, “You will have peace;”’and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say,‘No evil will come on you.’”
Jeremiah 23:17 (WEB)
Context Reading
15Therefore Yahweh of Armies says concerning the prophets:“Behold, I will feed them with wormwood,and make them drink poisoned water;for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.” 16Yahweh of Armies says,“Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.They teach you vanity.They speak a vision of their own heart,and not out of the mouth of Yahweh. 17They say continually to those who despise me,‘Yahweh has said, “You will have peace;”’and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say,‘No evil will come on you.’ 18For who has stood in the council of Yahweh,that he should perceive and hear his word?Who has listened to my word, and heard it? 19Behold, Yahweh’s storm, his wrath, has gone out.Yes, a whirling storm!It will burst on the head of the wicked.
