18 But I, the Lord, tell youthat these prophetshave never attended a meetingof my council in heavenor heard me speak.
19 They are evil! So in my angerI will strike themlike a violent storm.
20 I won't calm down,until I have finishedwhat I have decided to do.Some day you will understandexactly what I mean.
21 I did not send these prophetsor speak to them,but they ran to find youand to preach their message.
22 If they had been in a meetingof my council in heaven,they would have toldyou people of Judahto give up your sinsand come back to me.
23 I am everywhere—both near and far,
24 in heaven and on earth.There are no secret placeswhere you can hide from me.
