The verse opens with a strong declaration: "Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets". This signifies God's direct disapproval of their actions.
"Stealing" Words:
The phrase "who steal my words every one from his neighbor" refers to prophets who take credit for or repeat messages they haven't received directly from God. This could involve plagiarism of true prophets' words or claiming divine origin for their own fabricated messages.
False Prophecy:
This verse is part of a larger section in Jeremiah 23 that addresses the problem of false prophecy. God condemns prophets who mislead the people with lies and empty pronouncements.
