Jeremiah 23

English Standard Version ESV

1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! ” declares the Lord.

2 Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who care for my people: “You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds, declares the Lord.

3 Then I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply.

4 I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, declares the Lord.

5 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

6 In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: ‘The Lord is our righteousness. ’

7 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when they shall no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt, ’

8 but ‘As the Lord lives who brought up and led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he had driven them. ’ Then they shall dwell in their own land. ”

9 Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken within me; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, like a man overcome by wine, because of the Lord and because of his holy words.

10 For the land is full of adulterers; because of the curse the land mourns, and the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right.

11 “Both prophet and priest are ungodly; even in my house I have found their evil, declares the Lord.

12 Therefore their way shall be to them like slippery paths in the darkness, into which they shall be driven and fall, for I will bring disaster upon them in the year of their punishment, declares the Lord.

13 In the prophets of Samaria I saw an unsavory thing: they prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel astray.

14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies; they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his evil; all of them have become like Sodom to me, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah. ”

15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets: “Behold, I will feed them with bitter food and give them poisoned water to drink, for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land. ”

16 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord.

17 They say continually to those who despise the word of the Lord, ‘It shall be well with you’; and to everyone who stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, ‘No disaster shall come upon you. ’”

18 For who among them has stood in the council of the Lord to see and to hear his word, or who has paid attention to his word and listened?

19 Behold, the storm of the Lord! Wrath has gone forth, a whirling tempest; it will burst upon the head of the wicked.

20 The anger of the Lord will not turn back until he has executed and accomplished the intents of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it clearly.

21 “I did not send the prophets, yet they ran; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.

22 But if they had stood in my council, then they would have proclaimed my words to my people, and they would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their deeds.

23 “Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God far away?

24 Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.

25 I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed! ’

26 How long shall there be lies in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart,

27 who think to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, even as their fathers forgot my name for Baal?

28 Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let him who has my word speak my word faithfully. What has straw in common with wheat? declares the Lord.

29 Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who steal my words from one another.

31 Behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who use their tongues and declare, ‘declares the Lord. ’

32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when I did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord.

33 “When one of this people, or a prophet or a priest asks you, ‘What is the burden of the Lord? ’ you shall say to them, ‘You are the burden, and I will cast you off, declares the Lord. ’

34 And as for the prophet, priest, or one of the people who says, ‘The burden of the Lord, ’ I will punish that man and his household.

35 Thus shall you say, every one to his neighbor and every one to his brother, ‘What has the Lord answered? ’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken? ’

36 But ‘the burden of the Lord’ you shall mention no more, for the burden is every man’s own word, and you pervert the words of the living God, the Lord of hosts, our God.

37 Thus you shall say to the prophet, ‘What has the Lord answered you? ’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken? ’

38 But if you say, ‘The burden of the Lord, ’ thus says the Lord, ‘Because you have said these words, “The burden of the Lord, ” when I sent to you, saying, “You shall not say, ‘The burden of the Lord, ’”

39 therefore, behold, I will surely lift you up and cast you away from my presence, you and the city that I gave to you and your fathers.

40 And I will bring upon you everlasting reproach and perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten. ’”

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 vae pastoribus qui disperdunt et dilacerant gregem pascuae meae dicit Dominus

2 ideo haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel ad pastores qui pascunt populum meum vos dispersistis gregem meum eiecistis eos et non visitastis eos ecce ego visitabo super vos malitiam studiorum vestrorum ait Dominus

3 et ego congregabo reliquias gregis mei de omnibus terris ad quas eiecero eos illuc et convertam eos ad rura sua et crescent et multiplicabuntur

4 et suscitabo super eos pastores et pascent eos non formidabunt ultra et non pavebunt et nullus quaeretur ex numero dicit Dominu

5 ecce dies veniunt ait Dominus et suscitabo David germen iustum et regnabit rex et sapiens erit et faciet iudicium et iustitiam in terra

6 in diebus illius salvabitur Iuda et Israhel habitabit confidenter et hoc est nomen quod vocabunt eum Dominus iustus noster

7 propter hoc ecce dies veniunt dicit Dominus et non dicent ultra vivit Dominus qui eduxit filios Israhel de terra Aegypti

8 sed vivit Dominus qui eduxit et adduxit semen domus Israhel de terra aquilonis et de cunctis terris ad quas eieceram eos illuc et habitabunt in terra sua

9 ad prophetas contritum est cor meum in medio mei contremuerunt omnia ossa mea factus sum quasi vir ebrius et quasi homo madidus a vino a facie Domini et a facie verborum sanctorum eius

10 quia adulteris repleta est terra quia a facie maledictionis luxit terra arefacta sunt arva deserti factus est cursus eorum malus et fortitudo eorum dissimilis

11 propheta namque et sacerdos polluti sunt et in domo mea inveni malum eorum ait Dominus

12 idcirco via eorum erit quasi lubricum in tenebris inpellentur enim et corruent in ea adferam enim super eos mala annum visitationis eorum ait Dominus

13 et in prophetis Samariae vidi fatuitatem prophetabant in Baal et decipiebant populum meum Israhel

14 et in prophetis Hierusalem vidi similitudinem adulterium et iter mendacii et confortaverunt manus pessimorum ut non converteretur unusquisque a malitia sua facti sunt mihi omnes Sodoma et habitatores eius quasi Gomorr

15 propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum ad prophetas ecce ego cibabo eos absinthio et potabo eos felle a prophetis enim Hierusalem est egressa pollutio super omnem terram

16 haec dicit Dominus exercituum nolite audire verba prophetarum qui prophetant vobis et decipiunt vos visionem cordis sui loquuntur non de ore Domini

17 dicunt his qui blasphemant me locutus est Dominus pax erit vobis et omni qui ambulat in pravitate cordis sui dixerunt non veniet super vos malum

18 quis enim adfuit in consilio Domini et vidit et audivit sermonem eius quis consideravit verbum illius et audivit

19 ecce turbo dominicae indignationis egredietur et tempestas erumpens super caput impiorum venie

20 non revertetur furor Domini usque dum faciat et usque dum conpleat cogitationem cordis sui in novissimis diebus intellegetis consilium eius

21 non mittebam prophetas et ipsi currebant non loquebar ad eos et ipsi prophetaban

22 si stetissent in consilio meo et nota fecissent verba mea populo meo avertissem utique eos a via sua mala et a pessimis cogitationibus suis

23 putasne Deus e vicino ego sum dicit Dominus et non Deus de longe

24 si occultabitur vir in absconditis et ego non videbo eum dicit Dominus numquid non caelum et terram ego impleo ait Dominus

25 audivi quae dixerunt prophetae prophetantes in nomine meo mendacium atque dicentes somniavi somniavi

26 usquequo istud in corde est prophetarum vaticinantium mendacium et prophetantium seductiones cordis sui

27 qui volunt facere ut obliviscatur populus meus nominis mei propter somnia eorum quae narrant unusquisque ad proximum suum sicut obliti sunt patres eorum nominis mei propter Baal

28 propheta qui habet somnium narret somnium et qui habet sermonem meum loquatur sermonem meum vere quid paleis ad triticum dicit Dominus

29 numquid non verba mea sunt quasi ignis ait Dominus et quasi malleus conterens petram

30 propterea ecce ego ad prophetas ait Dominus qui furantur verba mea unusquisque a proximo suo

31 ecce ego ad prophetas ait Dominus qui adsumunt linguas suas et aiunt dicit Dominus

32 ecce ego ad prophetas somniantes mendacium ait Dominus qui narraverunt ea et seduxerunt populum meum in mendacio suo et in miraculis suis cum ego non misissem eos nec mandassem eis qui nihil profuerunt populo huic dicit Dominus

33 si igitur interrogaverit te populus iste vel propheta aut sacerdos dicens quod est onus Domini dices ad eos ut quid vobis onus proiciam quippe vos dicit Dominus

34 et prophetes et sacerdos et populus qui dicit onus Domini visitabo super virum illum et super domum eius

35 haec dicetis unusquisque ad proximum et ad fratrem suum quid respondit Dominus et quid locutus est Dominus

36 et onus Domini ultra non memorabitur quia onus erit unicuique sermo suus et pervertitis verba Dei viventis Domini exercituum Dei nostr

37 haec dices ad prophetam quid respondit tibi Dominus et quid locutus est Dominus

38 si autem onus Domini dixeritis propter hoc haec dicit Dominus quia dixistis sermonem istum onus Domini et misi ad vos dicens nolite dicere onus Domin

39 propterea ecce ego tollam vos portans et derelinquam vos et civitatem quam dedi vobis et patribus vestris a facie mea

40 et dabo vos in obprobrium sempiternum et in ignominiam aeternam quae numquam oblivione delebitur
