Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! Jeremiah 23:1.
They keep saying to those who despise the word of the LORD, “It shall be with you”, and to all who stubbornly follow their own stubborn hearts, they say, “No calamity shall come upon you.”
For who has stood in the council of the Lord so as to see and to hear his word? Who has given heed to his word so as to proclaim it? Jeremiah 23:17-18.
They plan to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another…let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream. Jeremiah 23:27-28.
So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? ...For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says. 1Corinthians 14:13.
If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand say “Amen” to your thanks giving? You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified.
But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in tongue. 1Corinthians 14:16-17 & 14:19.
…for the burden is everyone’s own word, and so you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of hosts, our God. Jeremiah 23:36. Amen.
