Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 23:26

_ _ prophets — a different Hebrew form from the usual one, “prophesiers.” “How long,” cries Jeremiah, impatient of their impious audacity, “shall these prophecy-mongers go on prophesying lies?” The answer is given in Jeremiah 23:29-34.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 23:9-32.
