TSNTyndale Study Notes:

23:16 The false prophets gave the people futile hopes; they had not been commissioned to speak for the Lord, and their ideas came from their own imaginations.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Connecting Statement:

Connecting Statement:

Jeremiah continues to deliver Yahweh’s message about the false prophets and priests that he began in Jeremiah 23:9.

(Occurrence 0) Yahweh of hosts says this

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/angels not listen on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in words the,prophets the,prophesy to/for=you_all deluding they(emph) DOM,you_all visions minds,their_own speak not from,mouth YHWH )

Jeremiah often uses these words to introduce an important message from Yahweh. See how you translated this in Jeremiah 6:6.

(Occurrence 0) They have deluded you!

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/angels not listen on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in words the,prophets the,prophesy to/for=you_all deluding they(emph) DOM,you_all visions minds,their_own speak not from,mouth YHWH )

Alternate translation: “The prophets have caused you to believe something that is not true!”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) visions from their own minds

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/angels not listen on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in words the,prophets the,prophesy to/for=you_all deluding they(emph) DOM,you_all visions minds,their_own speak not from,mouth YHWH )

Here “minds” refers to the thoughts of the false prophets. Alternate translation: “visions that they imagined”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) not from Yahweh’s mouth

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/angels not listen on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in words the,prophets the,prophesy to/for=you_all deluding they(emph) DOM,you_all visions minds,their_own speak not from,mouth YHWH )

Here “mouth” refers to what Yahweh said. Alternate translation: “not what Yahweh said”
