Jeremiah 23:22-28 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

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.

25. These unfaithful prophets claim that I have given them a dream or a vision, and then they tell lies in my name.

26. But everything they say comes from their own twisted minds. How long can this go on?

27. They tell each other their dreams and try to get my people to reject me, just as their ancestors left me and worshipped Baal.

28. Their dreams and my truth are as different as straw and wheat. But when prophets speak for me, they must say only what I have told them.
