La Bible David Martin

Jérémie 23:32

Voici, j'en veux à ceux qui prophétisent des songes de fausseté, dit l'Eternel, et qui les récitent, et font égarer mon peuple par leurs mensonges, et par leur témérité, quoique je ne les aie point envoyés, et que je ne leur aie point donné de charge; c'est pourquoi ils ne profiteront de rien à ce peuple, dit l'Eternel.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Voici, j'en veux à ceux qui prophétisent des songes de fausseté, dit l'Éternel, qui les racontent, et qui égarent mon peuple par leurs mensonges et par leur témérité; bien que je ne les aie pas envoyés et que je ne leur aie point donné de charge, en sorte qu'ils n'apportent aucun profit à ce peuple, dit l'Éternel.
Darby's French Translation
Voici, dit l'Éternel, j'en veux à ceux qui prophétisent des songes faux, et qui les récitent, et font errer mon peuple par leurs mensonges et par leurs vanteries; et moi je ne les ai pas envoyés, et je ne leur ai pas donné de commandement; et ils ne profiteront de rien à ce peuple, dit l'Éternel.
Louis Segond (1910)
Voici, dit l'Eternel, j'en veux à ceux qui prophétisent des songes faux, Qui les racontent, et qui égarent mon peuple Par leurs mensonges et par leur témérité; Je ne les ai point envoyés, je ne leur ai point donné d'ordre, Et ils ne sont d'aucune utilité à ce peuple, dit l'Eternel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Behold, I [am] against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord,.... And not true ones, such as the Lord spoke in to his prophets, and which they communicated from him to his people; see

Numbers 12:6;

and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; by the false doctrines and prophecies which they delivered, and by their loose and disorderly lives which they led; so that they debauched the principles of the people by the former, and their practices by the latter. Kimchi interprets the word translated "lightness" of lightness of their knowledge; as if it was through the shallowness of their judgments, and want of capacity in teaching, that the people were made to err by their false doctrines. The Targum interprets it of their temerity or rashness; and Schultens s, from the use of the word in the Arabic language, explains it of their pride and false glorying;

yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; wherefore they lied, and acted a vainglorious part, when they pretended they were sent by him, and had their orders from him what they should say; see Jeremiah 23:21;

therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord; so far from it, that they did them a great deal of hurt by their lies and flatteries; seducing them from the ways and worship of God, and leading them on in such as would issue in their destruction, and did.

s Animadv. in Job. p. 144.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
