Jeremiah 23:16-40
False prophets speak false hopes and speak vision from their own minds, speaks good words which people like to hear.
In days to come, you will understand it clearly, which is the truth, who are speak the words of the Lord.
If they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people ad would have turned them from their evil ways.
"Is not my word like fire", declares the Lord, "and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces"?
The Lord will bring upon false prophets, they claimed 'the oracle of the Lord', everlasting disgrace - everlasting shame that will not be forgotten.
Why?
With such a message, it is not surprising that Jeremiah encountered bitter hatred from the priests and prophets - as Jesus did(Matt 21:45 about priest and Pharisees)
Words of the Lord like fire in our heart and like hammer breaks a rock in our heart in pieces.
Stand in God council says the words of God, if a man stands in his own benefit or wants to get the applause from men, he is false prophet.
How?
Speak the truth, do not lie. Speak for the glory of the Lord, not for the joy from men. The words of the Lord like fire burn in my heart that is the power of the words of the Lord.
