Jeremiah 23:24
Compare all
22 But if they had stood in My counsel,
And had caused My people to hear My words,
Then they would have aturned them from their evil way
And from the evil of their doings. 
23 “Am I a God near at hand,” says the Lord,
“And not a God afar off?
24 Can anyone ahide himself in secret places,
So I shall not see him?” says the Lord;
b“Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the Lord.  
25 “I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in My name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’
26 How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart,

Jeremiah 23:23-25

Here is a reality that God presents us with: If a spiritual leader is not telling us the truth of God, that does not excuse us simply because we were not the perpetrator of the lie. Undoubtedly, God will take circumstances into consideration in His judgment, but there still is going to be some penalty! Otherwise, why would He ask the question, "Where can one hide?"

God is stating what was later reiterated in Jeremiah 23. There is individual responsibility and we have to face up to the fact that there is no hiding from God. God does not mean this in a mean way—not at all. He is not trying to make us feel as though we need to be looking over our shoulder all the time for His club to come down on us. That is not what He is looking for.
