Jeremiah 23:23-32

23Am I a 1GodH430 at hand, saith Jehovah, and not a 2GodH430 afarH7350 off?

24Can any hideH5641 himself in secretH4565 placesH4565, that I shall not seeH7200 him? saith Jehovah. Do not I fillH4390 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776? saith Jehovah.

25I have heardH8085 what the prophetsH5030 sayH559, who prophesyH5012 falsehoodH8267 in my nameH8034, sayingH559, I have dreamedH2492, I have dreamedH2492.

26How long shall [this] be in the heartH3820 of the prophetsH5030 who prophesyH5012 falsehoodH8267, and who are prophetsH5030 of the deceit of their own heartH3820?

27who think to cause my peopleH5971 to forgetH7911 my nameH8034 by their dreamsH2472 which they tell every manH376 to his neighbour: as their fathersH1 have forgottenH7911 my nameH8034 for BaalH1168.

28The prophetH5030 that hath a dreamH2472, let him tell the dreamH2472; and he that hath my wordH1697, let him speakH1696 my wordH1697 faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith Jehovah.

29Is not my wordH1697 like a fireH784, saith Jehovah; and like a hammerH6360 [that] breaketh the rockH5553 in pieces?

30ThereforeH3651, behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saith Jehovah, that stealH1589 my wordsH1697 every oneH376 from his neighbour.

31Behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saith Jehovah, that use their tonguesH3956, and say, He hath said.

32Behold, I am against them that prophesyH5012 false dreamsH2472, saith Jehovah, and that tell them, and cause my peopleH5971 to errH8582 by their liesH8267 and by their boasting; and I have not sentH7971 them, nor commandedH6680 them; and they profitH3276 not this peopleH5971 at all, saith Jehovah.
