Jeremiah 23:25-29

25“I have 1heard what the prophets have said who 2prophesy falsely in My name, saying, ‘I had a 3dream, I had a dream!’

26How long? Is there anything in the hearts of the prophets who prophesy falsehood, even these prophets of the 4deception of their own heart,

27who intend to 5make My people forget My name by their dreams which they relate to one another, just as their fathers 6forgot My name because of Baal?

28The prophet who has a dream may relate his dream, but let him who has 7My word speak My word in truth. 8What does straw have in common with grain?” declares the Lord.

29“Is not My word like 9fire?” declares the Lord, “and like a 10hammer which shatters a rock?
