Listen to Jeremías 23:16

Jeremías 23:16 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 23:16

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, hearken not unto the words of
the prophets that prophesy unto you
Do not hear them; stop your ears at what they say; give no credit to them. The Targum is,

``do not receive the words of the false prophets that prophesy unto you:''
they make you vain;
they filled their heads with vain and empty things, and their hearts with vain hopes, which deceived them; so the Targum,
``they deceive you;''
they taught them vain things, and made them vain and sinful in their lives and conversations; and therefore were not to be hearkened to: they speak a vision of their own heart, [and] not out of the mouth of
the Lord;
what they imagined they saw was a device of their own hearts, and what was agreeable to them, which must be bad enough; a produce of their own brains; an invention of their own; mere doctrines of men, and not such as come from the mouth of God, are his revealed will, and according to his word; and therefore not to be hearkened to; for nothing is to be heard and received, in matters of religion, but what is according to the revelation of God's will in his word; see ( Isaiah 8:20 ) . The Targum is,
``they speak to you the wickedness of their hearts, and not by the word of the Lord.''

Jeremías 23:16 In-Context

14 También entre los profetas de Jerusalén he visto algo horrible: cometían adulterio y andaban en mentiras; fortalecían las manos de los malhechores, sin convertirse ninguno de su maldad. Se me han vuelto todos ellos como Sodoma, y sus habitantes como Gomorra
15 Por tanto, así dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos acerca de los profetas: "He aquí, les daré de comer ajenjo y les daré de beber agua envenenada, porque de los profetas de Jerusalén ha salido la corrupción por toda la tierra."
16 Así dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos: No escuchéis las palabras de los profetas que os profetizan. Ellos os conducen hacia lo vano; os cuentan la visión de su propia fantasía, no de la boca del SEÑOR.
17 Dicen de continuo a los que me desprecian: "El SEÑOR ha dicho: 'Tendréis paz'"; y a todo el que anda en la terquedad de su corazón dicen: "No vendrá calamidad sobre vosotros."
18 Pero ¿quién ha estado en el consejo del SEÑOR, y vio y oyó su palabra? ¿Quién ha prestado atención a su palabra y la ha escuchado?
