Jeremiah 23:21

Spanish RVR 1909 (Más información sobre Biblia Reina Valera 1909)

No envié yo aquellos profetas, y ellos corrían: yo no les hablé, y ellos profetizaban.

¿Qué significa esto?

In this verse, God speaks and says that He did not send or speak to the prophets who are prophesying. The key message is that these prophets are not truly speaking for God.

Explicado para niños

Imagine if your friend told everyone that you said something, but you never actually said it. That's like what's happening here. God is saying that some people are saying things in His name, but He didn't tell them to do that.
