## Jeremiah 23:21-24 in Context (Verses 18–27 KJV)
 
 [18 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/18) For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard *it*?*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/19) Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/20) The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/21) I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/22) But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/23) *Am* I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
 
 [24 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/24) Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/25) I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/26) How long shall *this* be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, *they are* prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
 
 [27 ](/kjv/jeremiah/23/27) Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
 
[Jeremiah 22](/kjv/jeremiah/22) [Jeremiah 24](/kjv/jeremiah/24)
