Jeremiah 23:25–32

²⁵I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, and say: I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

²⁶How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, and that prophesy the delusions of their own heart?

²⁷Who seek to make my people forget my name through their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbour: as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.

²⁸The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream: and he that hath my word, let him speak my word with truth: what hath the chaff to do with the wheat, saith the Lord?

²⁹Are not my words as a fire, saith the Lord: and as a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

³⁰Therefore behold I am against the prophets, saith the Lord: who steal my words every one from his neighbour.

³¹Behold I am against the prophets, saith the Lord: who use their tongues, and say: The Lord saith it.

³²Behold I am against the prophets that have lying dreams, saith the Lord: and tell them, and cause my people to err by their lying, and by their wonders: when I sent them not, nor commanded them, who have not profited this people at all, saith the Lord.
