Jeremiah 23:23-26

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Jeremiah 23:23-26. Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? 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. I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophecy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

They profess to be prophets of their own heart, but "they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart," for that which comes out of man’s heart is like the heart itself, and man’s heart "is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked."
