Jeremiah 23:23-29

23“Am I a God who is only near”  — this is the Lord’s declaration — “and not a God who is far away?

24Can a person hide in secret places where I cannot see him?”  — the Lord’s declaration. “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?”  — the Lord’s declaration.

25“I have heard what the prophets who prophesy a lie in my name have said: ‘I had a dream! I had a dream! ’

26How long will this continue in the minds of the prophets prophesying lies, prophets of the deceit of their own minds?

27Through their dreams that they tell one another, they plan to cause my people to forget my name as their ancestors forgot my name through Baal worship.

28The prophet who has only a dream should recount the dream, but the one who has my word should speak my word truthfully, for what is straw compared to grain?” — this is the Lord’s declaration.

29“Is not my word like fire” — this is the Lord’s declaration — “and like a hammer that pulverizes rock?
