New Living Translation

Jeremiah 23:23-27 New Living Translation (NLT)

23. Am I a God who is only close at hand?” says the lord.“No, I am far away at the same time.

24. Can anyone hide from me in a secret place?Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?”says the lord.

25. “I have heard these prophets say, ‘Listen to the dream I had from God last night.’ And then they proceed to tell lies in my name.

26. How long will this go on? If they are prophets, they are prophets of deceit, inventing everything they say.

27. By telling these false dreams, they are trying to get my people to forget me, just as their ancestors did by worshiping the idols of Baal.
