Jeremiah 23:25–32

²⁵I have heard what the prophets have said ^swho prophesy lies in my name, saying, ^t‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ ²⁶How long shall there be lies in the heart of ^uthe prophets who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart, ²⁷who think to make my people forget my name ^tby their dreams that they tell one another, even as their ^vfathers forgot my name for Baal? ^28wLet the prophet who has a dream ^xtell the dream, but let him who has my word speak my word faithfully. ^yWhat has straw in common with wheat? declares the Lord. ^29yIs not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and ^zlike a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? ^30aTherefore, behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who steal my words from one another. ³¹Behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who use their tongues and declare, ‘declares the Lord.’ ³²Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and ^blead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when ^cI did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord.
