20 The Lord’s fierce angerwon’t turn backuntil it accomplishes all that he has planned.In the days to come,you will understand what this means.
21 I didn’t send the prophets,yet they ran anyway.I didn’t speak to them,yet they prophesied anyway.
22 If they had stood in my council,they would have proclaimedmy words to my people;they would have turned themfrom their evil ways and deeds.
23 The Lord declares, Am I a Godwho is only nearby and not far off?
24 Can people hide themselves in secret placesso I might not see them?Don’t I fill heaven and earth?
25 I have heard the prophets prophesying lies in my name. They claim, "I’ve had a dream; I’ve had a dream!"
26 How long will deceitful prophecies dominate the minds of the prophets? Those prophets are treacherous.
