Jeremiah 23:25–32

²⁵I have heard that which the prophets said, Who prophesy in My name falsehood, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed.’ ²⁶Till when is it in the heart of the prophets? The prophets of falsehood, Yea, prophets of the deceit of their heart, ²⁷Who are devising to cause My people To forget My name by their dreams, That they recount each to his neighbour, As their fathers forgot my name for Baal. ²⁸The prophet with whom is a dream, Let him recount the dream, And he with whom is My word, Let him truly speak My word. What—to the straw with the corn? An affirmation of Jehovah. ²⁹Is it not thus? My word is as a fire, An affirmation of Jehovah. And as a hammer—it breaketh in pieces a rock. ³⁰Therefore, lo, I am against the prophets, An affirmation of Jehovah, Stealing My words each from his neighbour. ³¹Lo, I am against the prophets, An affirmation of Jehovah, Who are making smooth their tongue, And they affirm—an affirmation. ³²Lo, I am against the prophets of false dreams, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they recount them, and cause my people to err, By their falsehoods, and by their instability, And I—I have not sent them, Nor have I commanded them, And they are not at all profitable to this people, An affirmation of Jehovah.
