Jeremiah 5:31

“Your first father sinned, And your spokesmen have transgressed against Me.

“Yet you said, ‘I will be a queen forever.’ These things you did not put on your heart Nor remember the outcome of them.

How long is the land to mourn And the plants of every field to dry up? Because of the evil of those who inhabit it, Animals and birds have been swept away, Because men have said, “He will not see our latter ending.”

Then Yahweh said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in My name. I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a vision of lies, divination, futility, and the deception of their own hearts.

The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Yahweh.

Because of the sins of her prophets And the iniquities of her priests, Who have shed in her midst The blood of the righteous;

They hunted our steps So that we could not walk in our open squares; Our end drew near, Our days were finished, For our end had come.

And it will be like people, like priest; So I will punish them for their ways And cause their deeds to return to them.

In the house of Israel I have seen an appalling thing; Ephraim’s harlotry is there; Israel has defiled itself.

What will you do on the day of the appointed festival And on the day of the feast of Yahweh?

“If a man walking after wind and lying Had acted falsely and said, ‘I will speak, dripping out words to you concerning wine and liquor,’ He would be one who drips out words as a spokesman to this people.
