This is an amazing text. The prophetic word of God was gone from their consciousness. Their words, not God’s, became their oracle. They no longer heard God but themselves.
- (Jeremiah 23:35-36 NASB) Thus will each of you say to his neighbor and to his brother, ”What has the LORD answered?” or, ”What has the LORD spoken?” [36] For you will no longer remember the oracle of the LORD, because every man’s own word will become the oracle, and you have perverted the words of the living God, the LORD of hosts, our God.
