37 This is what you keep saying to a prophet: 'What is the Lord's answer to you?' or 'What has the Lord spoken?'
37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and, What hath the Lord spoken?
37 Thus you shall say to the prophet, 'What has the Lord answered you?' or 'What has the Lord spoken?'
37 "You can ask the prophets, 'How did God answer you? What did he tell you?'
37 Thus you shall say to the prophet, 'What has the Lord answered you?' and, 'What has the Lord spoken?'
37 "This is what you should say to the prophets: 'What is the Lord 's answer?' or 'What is the Lord saying?'
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 23:37
Commentary on Jeremiah 23:33-40
(Read Jeremiah 23:33-40)
Those are miserable indeed who are forsaken and forgotten of God; and men's jesting at God's judgments will not baffle them. God had taken Israel to be a people near to him, but they shall now be cast out of his presence. It is a mark of great and daring impiety for men to jest with the words of God. Every idle and profane word will add to the sinner's burden in the day of judgment, when everlasting shame will be his portion.
