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, these prophets of the 4deceitfulness of their own heart,

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

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

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