Jeremiah 23:25-29

25“I have 1heardH8085 whatH834 the prophetsH5030 have saidH559 who 2prophesyH5012 falselyH8267 in My nameH8034, sayingH559, ‘I hadH2492 a 3dreamH2492, I hadH2492 a dreamH2492!’

26HowH4970 longH5704H4970? Is thereH3426 anything in the heartsH3820 of the prophetsH5030 who prophesyH5012 falsehoodH8267, even these prophetsH5030 of the 4deceptionH8649 of their own heartH3820,

27who intendH2803 to 5make My peopleH5971 forgetH7911 My nameH8034 by their dreamsH2472 whichH834 they relateH5608 to oneH376 anotherH7453, justH3512 as their fathersH1 6forgotH7911 My nameH8034 because of BaalH1168?

28The prophetH5030 whoH834 hasH854 a dreamH2472 may relateH5608 his dreamH2472, but let him whoH834 hasH854 7My wordH1697 speakH1696 My wordH1697 in truthH571. 8WhatH4100 does strawH8401 have in common with grainH1250?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

29“Is not My wordH1697 like 9fireH784?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “and like a 10hammerH6360 which shattersH6483 a rockH5553?
