22 that which the prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing is not, and cometh not -- it [is] the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; in presumption hath the prophet spoken it; -- thou art not afraid of him.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 22. When a doctrine professes to teach the things derived from the Lord's Divine Humanity, but does not, when followed out, produce any good effect upon the life, this is then a falsity which does not proceed from the Lord; it proceeds from self-intelligence, and shall not be regarded (Matthew 7:15-20).
