Jeremiah 23:31 meaning and explanation
“Yes,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and proclaim, ‘The LORD declares it.’”
Jeremiah 23:31, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
In this chapter God speaks through Jeremiah against prophets in Jerusalem who claimed divine authority without being sent. Verse 31 targets those who wag their own tongues, an image of mouths moving on their own, producing words never given to them, then attaching the formula "declares the LORD" to make personal ideas sound like revelation.
