19 Behold, the tempest{H5591} of Jehovah,{H3068} [even his] wrath,{H2534} is gone forth,{H3318} yea, a whirling{H2342} tempest:{H5591} it shall burst{H2342} upon the head{H7218} of the wicked.{H7563} 20 The anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} shall not return,{H7725} until he have executed,{H6213} and till he have performed{H6965} the intents{H4209} of his heart:{H3820} in the latter{H319} days{H3117} ye shall understand{H995} it perfectly.{H998} 21 I sent{H7971} not these prophets,{H5030} yet they ran:{H7323} I spake{H1696} not unto them, yet they prophesied.{H5012} 22 But if they had stood{H5975} in my council,{H5475} then had they caused my people{H5971} to hear{H8085} my words,{H1697} and had turned{H7725} them from their evil{H7451} way,{H1870} and from the evil{H7455} of their doings.{H4611} 23 Am I a God{H430} at hand,{H7138} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} and not a God{H430} afar off?{H7350} 24 Can any{H376} hide{H5641} himself in secret places{H4565} so that I shall not see{H7200} him? saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068} Do not I fill{H4392} heaven{H8064} and earth?{H776} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068} 25 I have heard{H8085} what the prophets{H5030} have said,{H559} that prophesy{H5012} lies{H8267} in my name,{H8034} saying,{H559} I have dreamed,{H2492} I have dreamed.{H2492} 26 How long shall this be{H3426} in the heart{H3820} of the prophets{H5030} that prophesy{H5012} lies,{H8267} even the prophets{H5030} of the deceit{H8649} of their own heart?{H3820} 27 that think{H2803} to cause my people{H5971} to forget{H7911} my name{H8034} by their dreams{H2472} which they tell{H5608} every man{H376} to his neighbor,{H7453} as their fathers{H1} forgat{H7911} my name{H8034} for Baal.{H1168} 28 The prophet{H5030} that hath a dream,{H2472} let him tell{H5608} a dream;{H2472} and he that hath my word,{H1697} let him speak{H1696} my word{H1697} faithfully.{H571} What is the straw{H8401} to the wheat?{H1250} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068} 29 Is not my word{H1697} like{H3541} fire?{H784} saith{H5002} Jehovah;{H3068} and like a hammer{H6360} that breaketh{H6327} the rock{H5553} in pieces?{H6327} 30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets,{H5030} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that steal{H1589} my words{H1697} every one{H376} from his neighbor.{H7453} 31 Behold, I am against the prophets,{H5030} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that use{H3947} their tongues,{H3956} and say,{H5001} He saith.{H5002} 32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy{H5012} lying{H8267} dreams,{H2472} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} and do tell{H5608} them, and cause my people{H5971} to err{H8582} by their lies,{H8267} and by their vain boasting:{H6350} yet I sent{H7971} them not, nor commanded{H6680} them; neither do they profit{H3276} this people{H5971} at all,{H3276} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}
