Jeremiah 23

²⁷ They suppose the dreams that they tell one another will make My people forget My name, just as their fathers forgot My name through the worship of Baal.

²⁸ Let the prophet who has a dream retell it, but let him who has My word speak it truthfully. For what is straw compared to grain?” declares the LORD.

²⁹ “Is not My word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that smashes a rock?”

³⁰ “Therefore behold,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who steal from one another words they attribute to Me.”

³¹ “Yes,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and proclaim, ‘The LORD declares it.’”
