Jeremiah 23:16

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Jeremiah 23:16. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain:

That is one mark of a false prophet, he makes you feel that you are a fine fellow, that there is something good in you: "They make you vain."

Jeremiah 23:16. They speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.

That is another of the marks of a false prophet. Such a man as that is a great thinker; he has thought out his theology himself, he has imagined and invented it himself: "They speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord."
