JEREMIAH 23:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Jer 23:20Jer 23:22
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
The statement that God did not send the false prophets and they did not run in God's errand distinguishes true from false prophecy by their origin and commission. The false prophets lack divine authorization and their words lack divine backing. The contrast with true prophets who are sent shows the fundamental difference in status and authenticity. The verse emphasizes that a prophet's legitimacy derives from divine commission.
