Bible Comments

Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

Use their tongues - rather, 'take' х haloqªchiym (H3947)] their tongue: a second class (cf. Jeremiah 23:30) require, in order to bring forth a revelation, nothing more than their tongues, wherewith they say, He (Yahweh) saith: they bungle in the very formula, instead of the usual "Yahweh saith," being only able to say, "He saith."
