Jeremias 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.''

Jeremias 23:16 In-Context

14 E entre os profetas de JerusalĂ©mvi algo horrĂ­vel:eles cometem adultĂ©rio e vivem uma mentira.Encorajam os que praticam o mal,para que nenhum deles se converta de sua impiedade.Para mim sĂŁo todos como Sodoma;o povo de JerusalĂ©m Ă© como Gomorra”.
15 Por isso assim diz o SENHOR dos ExĂ©rcitos acerca dos profetas:“Eu os farei comer comida amargae beber ĂĄgua envenenada,porque dos profetas de JerusalĂ©ma impiedade se espalhou por toda esta terra”.
16 Assim diz o SENHOR dos ExĂ©rcitos:“NĂŁo ouçam o que os profetas estĂŁo profetizando para vocĂȘs;eles os enchem de falsas esperanças.Falam de visĂ”es inventadas por eles mesmose que nĂŁo vĂȘm da boca do SENHOR.
17 Vivem dizendo Ă queles que desprezama palavra do SENHOR: ‘VocĂȘs terĂŁo paz’.E a todos os que seguem a obstinaçãodos seus coraçÔes dizem: ‘VocĂȘs nĂŁo sofrerĂŁo desgraça alguma’.
18 Mas qual deles esteve no conselho dopara ver ou ouvir a sua palavra?Quem deu atenção e obedeceu à minha palavra?
