23:1 Woe
bee
vnto
the
pastors
that
destroy
and
scatter
the
sheepe
of
my
pasture,
saith
the
Lord.
23:2 Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
against
the
pastors
that
feed
my
people;
Yee
haue
scattered
my
flocke
and
driuen
them
away,
and
haue
not
visited
them;
behold
I
will
visite
vpon
you
the
euill
of
your
doings,
saith
the
Lord.
23:3 And
I
wil
gather
the
remnant
of
my
flocke,
out
of
all
countreis
whither
I
haue
driuen
them,
and
will
bring
them
againe
to
their
foldes,
and
they
shalbe
fruitfull
and
increase.
23:4 And
I
will
set
vp
shepheards
ouer
them
which
shall
feed
them,
and
they
shal
feare
no
more
nor
be
dismaied,
neither
shall
they
bee
lacking,
saith
the
Lord.
23:5 Behold,
the
daies
come,
saith
the
Lord,
that
I
wil
raise
vnto
Dauid
a
righteous
branch,
and
a
King
shall
reigne
and
prosper,
and
shall
execute
iudgement
and
iustice
in
the
earth.
23:6 In
his
dayes
Iudah
shalbe
saued,
and
Israel
shall
dwell
safely,
and
this
is
his
Name
whereby
hee
shall
be
called,
The
Lord
Our
Righteousnes.
23:7 Therefore
behold,
the
dayes
come,
saith
the
Lord,
that
they
shall
no
more
say;
The
Lord
liueth,
which
brought
vp
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt:
23:8 But,
The
Lord
liueth,
which
brought
vp,
and
which
led
the
seed
of
the
house
of
Israel
out
of
the
North
countrey,
and
from
all
countreis
whither
I
had
driuen
them,
and
they
shall
dwell
in
their
owne
land.
23:9 Mine
heart
within
me
is
broken
because
of
the
prophets,
all
my
bones
shake:
I
am
like
a
drunken
man
(and
like
a
man
whom
wine
hath
ouercome)
because
of
the
Lord,
and
because
of
the
words
of
his
Holinesse.
23:10 For
the
land
is
full
of
adulterers,
for
because
of
swearing
the
land
mourneth:
the
pleasant
places
of
the
wildernes
are
dried
vp,
and
their
course
is
euil,
and
their
force
is
not
right.
23:11 For
both
prophet
and
priest
are
prophane,
yea
in
my
house
haue
I
found
their
wickednesse,
saith
the
Lord.
23:12 Wherefore
their
way
shalbe
vnto
them
as
slippery
wayes
in
the
darkenes:
they
shalbe
driuen
on
and
fall
therein:
for
I
will
bring
euill
vpon
them,
euen
the
yeere
of
their
visitation,
saith
the
Lord.
23:13 And
I
haue
seene
folly
in
the
prophets
of
Samaria;
they
prophecied
in
Baal,
and
caused
my
people
Israel
to
erre.
23:14 I
haue
seene
also
in
the
prophets
of
Ierusalem
an
horrible
thing:
they
commit
adultery,
and
walke
in
lies:
they
strengthen
also
the
hands
of
euill
doers,
that
none
doeth
returne
from
his
wickednesse:
they
are
all
of
them
vnto
me
as
Sodom,
and
the
inhabitants
thereof
as
Gomorrah.
23:15 Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts
concerning
the
Prophets;
Behold,
I
will
feede
them
with
wormewood,
and
make
them
drinke
the
water
of
gall:
for
from
the
Prophets
of
Ierusalem
is
profanenesse
gone
forth
into
all
the
land.
23:16 Thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
Hearken
not
vnto
the
wordes
of
the
prophets
that
prophecie
vnto
you;
they
make
you
vaine:
they
speake
a
vision
of
their
owne
heart,
and
not
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
Lord.
23:17 They
say
still
vnto
them
that
despise
me;
The
Lord
hath
sayde,
Yee
shall
haue
peace;
and
they
say
vnto
euery
one
that
walketh
after
the
imagination
of
his
owne
heart,
No
euill
shall
come
vpon
you.
23:18 For
who
hath
stood
in
the
counsell
of
the
Lord,
and
hath
perceiued,
and
heard
his
word
who
hath
marked
his
word,
and
heard
it
23:19 Behold,
a
whirlewinde
of
the
Lord
is
gone
foorth
in
furie,
euen
a
grieuous
whirlewinde,
it
shall
fall
grieuously
vpon
the
head
of
the
wicked.
23:20 The
anger
of
the
Lord
shall
not
returne,
vntill
hee
haue
executed,
and
til
he
haue
performed
the
thoughts
of
his
heart:
in
the
latter
dayes
ye
shall
consider
it
perfectly.
23:21 I
haue
not
sent
these
prophets,
yet
they
ranne:
I
haue
not
spoken
to
them,
yet
they
prophecied.
23:22 But
if
they
had
stood
in
my
counsell,
and
had
caused
my
people
to
heare
my
wordes,
then
they
should
haue
turned
them
from
their
euil
way,
and
from
the
euill
of
their
doings.
23:23 Am
I
a
God
at
hand,
sayth
the
Lord,
and
not
a
God
afarre
off
23:24 Can
any
hide
himselfe
in
secret
places
that
I
shall
not
see
him,
saith
the
Lord
doe
not
I
fill
heauen
and
earth,
sayth
the
Lord
23:25 I
haue
heard
what
the
prophets
said,
that
prophecie
lyes
in
my
Name,
saying;
I
haue
dreamed,
I
haue
dreamed.
23:26 How
long
shall
this
bee
in
the
heart
of
the
prophets
that
prophecie
lies
yea
they
are
prophets
of
the
deceit
of
their
owne
heart;
23:27 Which
thinke
to
cause
my
people
to
forget
my
Name
by
their
dreames
which
they
tell
euery
man
to
his
neighbour,
as
their
fathers
haue
forgotten
my
Name,
for
Baal.
23:28 The
prophet
that
hath
a
dreame,
let
him
tell
a
dreame;
and
hee
that
hath
my
word,
let
him
speake
my
word
faithfully:
what
is
the
chaffe
to
the
wheat,
sayth
the
Lord
23:29 Is
not
my
word
like
as
a
fire,
saith
the
Lord
and
like
a
hammer
that
breaketh
the
rocke
in
pieces
23:30 Therefore,
behold,
I
am
against
the
prophets,
sayth
the
Lord,
that
steale
my
worde
euery
one
from
his
neighbour.
23:31 Beholde,
I
am
against
the
prophets,
saith
the
Lord,
that
vse
their
tongues,
and
say;
He
sayth.
23:32 Behold,
I
am
against
them
that
prophecie
false
dreames,
sayeth
the
Lord,
and
doe
tell
them,
and
cause
my
people
to
erre
by
their
lyes
and
by
their
lightnesse,
yet
I
sent
them
not,
nor
commanded
them:
therefore
they
shall
not
profite
this
people
at
all,
sayth
the
Lord.
23:33 And
when
this
people,
or
the
prophet,
or
a
priest
shall
aske
thee,
saying;
What
is
the
burden
of
the
Lord
thou
shalt
then
say
vnto
them;
What
burden
I
will
euen
forsake
you,
saith
the
Lord.
23:34 And
as
for
the
prophet,
and
the
priest,
and
the
people
that
shal
say,
The
burden
of
the
Lord,
I
will
euen
punish
that
man
and
his
house.
23:35 Thus
shall
yee
say
euery
one
to
his
neighbour,
and
euery
one
to
his
brother,
What
hath
the
Lord
answered
and
what
hath
the
Lord
spoken
23:36 And
the
burden
of
the
Lord
shall
yee
mention
no
more:
for
euery
mans
word
shall
be
his
burden:
for
yee
haue
peruerted
the
words
of
the
liuing
God,
of
the
Lord
of
hostes
our
God.
23:37 Thus
shalt
thou
say
to
the
prophet,
What
hath
the
Lord
answered
thee
and
what
hath
the
Lord
spoken
23:38 But
sith
ye
say,
The
burden
of
the
Lord;
therefore
thus
sayeth
the
Lord,
Because
you
say
this
word,
The
burden
of
the
Lord,
and
I
haue
sent
vnto
you,
saying;
Ye
shall
not
say,
The
burden
of
the
Lord:
23:39 Therefore
beholde,
I,
euen
I
will
vtterly
forget
you,
and
I
will
forsake
you,
and
the
citie
that
I
gaue
you
and
your
fathers,
and
cast
you
out
of
my
presence.
23:40 And
I
will
bring
an
euerlasting
reproch
vpon
you,
and
a
perpetuall
shame,
which
shall
not
be
forgotten.
