Jeremiah 23:32 in Context — Jeremiah 23

30 Portanto eis que eu sou contra os profetas,diz o SENHOR, que furtam minhas palavras cada um de seu próximo.

31 Eis que eu sou contra os profetas,diz o SENHOR, que usam suas línguas, e declaram: [Assim] ele disse.

32 Eis que eu sou contra os que profetizam sonhos mentirosos,diz o SENHOR, e os contam, e fazem meu povo errar com suas mentiras e com suas lisonjas. E eu não os enviei, nem lhes mandei; e proveito nenhum fizeram a este povo, diz o SENHOR.

33 E quando este povo, ou o profeta, ou o sacerdote, te peguntar, dizendo: Qual é a revelação, a carga do SENHOR? Então tu lhes dirás: Que carga? Eu os abandonarei, diz o SENHOR.

34 E quanto ao profeta, o sacerdote, ou alguém do povo, que disser: Carga do SENHOR; eu enviarei castigo sobre tal homem e sobre sua casa.
