Jeremiah 23 SERIES: Vs.31-32

 Commentary of Charles Spurgeon, Adam Clarke & Matthew Henry
 
Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use
their tongues, and say, He saith. 
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.
Vs. 31,32
 
Behold, I am against the prophets. They pretended to be for God, and made use of His name, but were really against Him.
 
The prophets who used their tongues; הלקחים לשונם hallokechim
leshonam, who lick or smooth with their tongues - gave their own counsels as Divine revelations, flattering them in their sins, and promising peace, when God had not spoken; and prefaced them.... they are very complaisant to the people, and say nothing but what is pleasing and plausible.
 
The prophets who made up false stories, which they termed prophecies, revealed to them in dreams; and thus caused the people to err.
 
What greater indignity can be done to the God of truth than to lay the brats of the father of lies at His door?
