# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Yahweh continues to deliver his message about the false prophets and priests that he began in [Jeremiah 23:9](./09.md) and completes in [Jeremiah 23:40](./37.md).
|
|
|
|
# Am I only a God nearby ... and not also a God far away?
|
|
|
|
Yahweh uses this question to rebuke the priests and false prophets for thinking that he did not rule everywhere. AT: "I am not only a God who is here in Jerusalem ... but I am everywhere!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
|
|
|
# this is Yahweh's declaration
|
|
|
|
Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 1:8](../01/08.md). AT: "this is what Yahweh has declared" or "this is what I, Yahweh, have declared" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
