오실 메시아

23 여호와께서 말씀하신다. “내 목장의 양떼를 해치고 흩어 버리는 목자 들에게 화가 있을 것이다.

이스라엘의 하나님 나 여호와가 내 백성을 기르는 목자들에게 말한다. 너희는 나의 양떼를 흩어 버리고 몰아내며 돌보지 않았다. 그러므로 너희가 행한 악에 대하여 내가 너희에게 벌을 내리겠다.

내가 세계 여러 나라로 흩어 버린 남은 내 백성을 다시 모아 고국으로 돌아오게 할 것이니 그들이 많은 자녀를 낳고 번성할 것이다.

내가 그들을 돌볼 목자들을 세워 그들이 다시는 두려워하거나 놀라거나 그 수가 줄어드는 일이 없도록 하겠다. 이것은 나 여호와의 말이다.”

여호와께서 다시 말씀하신다. “때가 되면 내가 다윗의 후손 가운데 한 [a]의로운 자를 일으킬 것이다. 그가 왕이 되어 지혜롭게 다스리며 세상에서 공정하고 옳은 일을 행할 것이다.

그때 유다는 구원을 얻고 이스라엘은 안전하게 살 것이며 그의 이름은 ‘여호와 우리의 의’ 라고 불려질 것이다.

“그때 사람들은 ‘이스라엘 백성을 이집트에서 인도해 내신 살아 계신 여호와’ 란 말로 맹세하지 않고

‘이스라엘 백성을 북쪽 땅과 그들이 쫓겨간 모든 나라에서 인도해 내신 살아 계신 여호와’ 란 말로 맹세할 것이며 그들은 자기들의 땅에서 살게 될 것이다.”

거짓 예언자들

거짓 예언자들 때문에 내 마음이 상하고 내 모든 뼈가 떨리는구나. 내가 여호와와 그의 거룩한 말씀 때문에 술취한 사람처럼 되었고 포도주에 사로잡힌 사람처럼 되었다.

10 이 땅에 간음하는 자들이 가득하구나. 여호와의 저주로 땅이 슬퍼하고 광야의 푸른 풀들이 마르고 있으니 이것은 예언자들이 악을 행하고 그들의 권력을 남용하기 때문이다.

11 여호와께서 말씀하신다. “예언자들과 제사장들이 다 더럽혀졌으니 내가 성전에서도 그들의 악을 발견하였다.

12 그러므로 그들의 길이 미끄럽고 어두워서 그들은 넘어지고 말 것이다. 그들을 벌할 때가 되면 내가 그들에게 재앙을 내리겠다. 이것은 나 여호와의 말이다.

13 “내가 사마리아 예언자들 가운데서도 역겨운 일을 보았다. 그들이 바알의 이름으로 예언하고 내 백성 이스라엘을 잘못된 길로 인도하였다.

14 나는 또 예루살렘 예언자들 가운데서도 끔찍한 일을 보았다. 그들은 간음하고 거짓말할 뿐만 아니라 악을 행하는 자를 그 죄에서 돌아서게 하지 않고 오히려 그들을 격려하고 칭찬하였다. 그래서 그들은 나에게 소돔 사람과 같고 예루살렘 주민은 고모라 사람과 같다.

15 그러므로 전능한 나 여호와가 그 예언자들에 대하여 말한다. 보라, 내가 그들에게 쓴 것을 먹이고 독물을 마시게 하겠다. 이것은 이 땅을 악으로 물들게 한 것이 바로 그들이기 때문이다.”

16 전능하신 여호와께서 말씀하신다. “너희는 예언자들이 하는 말을 듣지 말아라. 그들은 너희에게 헛된 희망을 불어넣어 주고 있다. 그들의 예언은 자기들 멋대로 생각해 낸 것이며 나 여호와의 입에서 나온 것이 아니다.

17 그들은 나를 멸시하는 자들에게 언제나 ‘여호와께서 말씀하셨다. 너희는 평안할 것이다’ 하며 또 자기 마음의 악한 고집대로 행하는 자들에게는 ‘아무런 해도 너희에게 미치지 않을 것이다’ 하고 말한다.

18 그러나 이 예언자들 중에 누가 나 [b]여호와의 은밀한 생각을 알며 내 말을 귀담아 듣고 이해하였는가?

19 보라, 나 여호와가 폭풍과 회오리바람 같은 분노로 악인들의 머리를 칠 것이다.

20 나 여호와의 분노는 내 마음에 뜻한 것을 다 이룰 때까지 그치지 않을 것이니 앞으로 너희가 이것을 분명히 깨달을 것이다.

21 이 예언자들은 내가 보내지도 않았는데 돌아다니며, 내가 그들에게 아무 말도 하지 않았는데 예언하였다.

22 그들이 만일 [c]나의 은밀한 생각을 알았더라면 내 백성들에게 내 말을 선포하여 그들을 악한 길과 악한 행위에서 돌아서게 했을 것이다.”

23 여호와께서 말씀하신다. “나는 한 곳에만 있는 하나님이 아니라 어디든지 있는 하나님이다.

24 내가 볼 수 없도록 은밀한 곳에 숨을 자가 누구냐? [d]나는 하늘과 땅 어느 곳에나 존재한다는 것을 모르느냐?

25 나는 내 이름으로 거짓을 예언하는 자들이 ‘내가 꿈을 꾸었다. 내가 꿈을 꾸었다’ 하고 말하는 소리를 들었다.

26 이 거짓 예언자들이 언제까지 이런 식으로 예언할 것인가? 그들은 자기들 멋대로 지어낸 거짓말로 예언하는 자들이다.

27 그들은 자기 조상들이 바알 때문에 나를 잊어버린 것처럼 자기들이 서로 말하는 꿈 이야기로 내 백성들이 나를 잊도록 하려고 한다.

28 꿈을 꾼 예언자는 그 꿈을 말하게 하고 내 말을 받은 예언자는 내 말을 성실히 말하게 하라. 겨와 알곡이 어찌 같겠느냐?

29 내 말이 불 같지 않은가? 바위를 쳐서 부수는 망치 같지 않은가?

30-31 그러므로 자기들끼리 서로 말을 받아 ‘여호와께서 말씀하셨다’ 하고 혀를 놀리는 예언자들을 내가 치겠다.

32 나 여호와가 말한다. 보라, 거짓된 꿈을 말하고 거짓말과 헛된 자랑으로 내 백성을 미혹하는 자를 내가 칠 것이다. 나는 그들을 보내지도 않았고 명령하지도 않았다. 그들은 이 백성들에게 아무런 도움도 되지 않는다. 이것은 나 여호와의 말이다.”

33 여호와께서 나에게 말씀하셨다. “이 백성이나 예언자나 제사장이 너에게 ‘여호와의 엄한 말씀이 무엇이냐?’ 하고 묻거든 너는 그들에게 이렇게 대답하라: 너희가 여호와께 짐이 되므로 여호와께서 너희를 버리실 것이다.

34 예언자나 제사장이나 그 밖에 누구든지 ‘여호와의 엄한 말씀’ 이란 말을 함부로 사용하면 여호와께서 그 사람과 그의 가족을 벌하실 것이다.

35 너희는 자기 친구들과 친척들에게 ‘여호와께서 무엇이라고 대답하셨는가? 여호와께서 무엇이라고 말씀하셨는가?’ 하고 서로 물을 수는 있다.

36 그러나 너희는 ‘여호와의 엄한 말씀’ 이란 말을 입 밖에 내서는 안 된다. 만일 너희가 그렇게 하면 각자 자기가 한 말이 여호와께서 하신 말씀처럼 되어 살아 계시는 하나님, 곧 전능하신 여호와 우리 하나님의 말씀을 그르치게 될 것이다.

37 “예레미야야, 너는 예언자들에게 ‘여호와께서 너희에게 무엇이라고 대답하셨으며 너희에게 무엇이라고 말씀하셨는가?’ 하고 물어 보아라.

38 내가 그들에게 ‘여호와의 엄한 말씀’ 이란 말을 사용하지 말라고 명령하였으나 그들은 계속 그 말을 쓰고 있다.

39 그러므로 내가 그들을 아주 잊어버리고 그들과 그 조상들에게 준 이 성과 함께 그들을 내 앞에서 내쫓아

40 영원히 씻을 수 없는 수치와 모욕을 당하게 하겠다.”

The Righteous Branch

23 “Woe to the shepherds(A) who are destroying and scattering(B) the sheep of my pasture!”(C) declares the Lord. Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds(D) who tend my people: “Because you have scattered my flock(E) and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil(F) you have done,” declares the Lord. “I myself will gather the remnant(G) of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture,(H) where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds(I) over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid(J) or terrified, nor will any be missing,(K)” declares the Lord.

“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will raise up for David[a] a righteous Branch,(L)
a King(M) who will reign(N) wisely
    and do what is just and right(O) in the land.
In his days Judah will be saved
    and Israel will live in safety.(P)
This is the name(Q) by which he will be called:
    The Lord Our Righteous Savior.(R)

“So then, the days are coming,”(S) declares the Lord, “when people will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’(T) but they will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ Then they will live in their own land.”(U)

Lying Prophets

Concerning the prophets:

My heart(V) is broken within me;
    all my bones tremble.(W)
I am like a drunken man,
    like a strong man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
    and his holy words.(X)
10 The land is full of adulterers;(Y)
    because of the curse[b](Z) the land lies parched
    and the pastures(AA) in the wilderness are withered.(AB)
The prophets follow an evil course
    and use their power unjustly.

11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;(AC)
    even in my temple(AD) I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(AE)
    they will be banished to darkness
    and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
    in the year they are punished,(AF)
declares the Lord.

13 “Among the prophets of Samaria
    I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal(AG)
    and led my people Israel astray.(AH)
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
    I have seen something horrible:(AI)
    They commit adultery and live a lie.(AJ)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(AK)
    so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(AL)
They are all like Sodom(AM) to me;
    the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(AN)

15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:

“I will make them eat bitter food
    and drink poisoned water,(AO)
because from the prophets of Jerusalem
    ungodliness(AP) has spread throughout the land.”

16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Do not listen(AQ) to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
    they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions(AR) from their own minds,
    not from the mouth(AS) of the Lord.
17 They keep saying(AT) to those who despise me,
    ‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’(AU)
And to all who follow the stubbornness(AV) of their hearts
    they say, ‘No harm(AW) will come to you.’
18 But which of them has stood in the council(AX) of the Lord
    to see or to hear his word?
    Who has listened and heard his word?
19 See, the storm(AY) of the Lord
    will burst out in wrath,
a whirlwind(AZ) swirling down
    on the heads of the wicked.
20 The anger(BA) of the Lord will not turn back(BB)
    until he fully accomplishes
    the purposes of his heart.
In days to come
    you will understand it clearly.
21 I did not send(BC) these prophets,
    yet they have run with their message;
I did not speak to them,
    yet they have prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my council,(BD)
    they would have proclaimed(BE) my words to my people
and would have turned(BF) them from their evil ways
    and from their evil deeds.(BG)

23 “Am I only a God nearby,(BH)
declares the Lord,
    “and not a God far away?
24 Who can hide(BI) in secret places
    so that I cannot see them?”
declares the Lord.
    “Do not I fill heaven and earth?”(BJ)
declares the Lord.

25 “I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies(BK) in my name. They say, ‘I had a dream!(BL) I had a dream!’ 26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions(BM) of their own minds?(BN) 27 They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget(BO) my name, just as their ancestors forgot(BP) my name through Baal worship.(BQ) 28 Let the prophet who has a dream(BR) recount the dream, but let the one who has my word(BS) speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the Lord. 29 “Is not my word like fire,”(BT) declares the Lord, “and like a hammer(BU) that breaks a rock in pieces?

30 “Therefore,” declares the Lord, “I am against(BV) the prophets(BW) who steal from one another words supposedly from me. 31 Yes,” declares the Lord, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, ‘The Lord declares.’(BX) 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,(BY)” declares the Lord. “They tell them and lead my people astray(BZ) with their reckless lies,(CA) yet I did not send(CB) or appoint them. They do not benefit(CC) these people in the least,” declares the Lord.

False Prophecy

33 “When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, ‘What is the message(CD) from the Lord?’ say to them, ‘What message? I will forsake(CE) you, declares the Lord.’ 34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, ‘This is a message(CF) from the Lord,’ I will punish(CG) them and their household. 35 This is what each of you keeps saying to your friends and other Israelites: ‘What is the Lord’s answer?’(CH) or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 36 But you must not mention ‘a message from the Lord’ again, because each one’s word becomes their own message. So you distort(CI) the words of the living God,(CJ) the Lord Almighty, our God. 37 This is what you keep saying to a prophet: ‘What is the Lord’s answer to you?’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 38 Although you claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ this is what the Lord says: You used the words, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ even though I told you that you must not claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord.’ 39 Therefore, I will surely forget you and cast(CK) you out of my presence along with the city I gave to you and your ancestors. 40 I will bring on you everlasting disgrace(CL)—everlasting shame that will not be forgotten.”

  1. Jeremiah 23:5 Or up from David’s line
  2. Jeremiah 23:10 Or because of these things

23 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.

And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord.

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the Lord, and because of the words of his holiness.

10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.

11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.

12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.

13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.

16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.

17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?

19 Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.

20 The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.

21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?

24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.

25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.

29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.

33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord.

34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even punish that man and his house.

35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and, What hath the Lord spoken?

36 And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.

37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and, What hath the Lord spoken?

38 But since ye say, The burden of the Lord; therefore thus saith the Lord; Because ye say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord;

39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:

40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
