Jeremiah 23:29-34

29“Is My word not like 1fire?” declares the Lord, “and like a 2hammer which shatters a rock? 30Therefore behold, 3I am against the prophets,” declares the Lord, “who steal My words from each other. 31Behold, I am against the prophets,” declares the Lord, “who 4use their tongues and declare, ‘The Lord declares!’ 32Behold, I am against those who have prophesied 5false dreams,” declares the Lord, “and reported them and led My people astray by their lies and 6reckless boasting; yet 7I did not send them nor command them, nor do they 8provide this people the slightest benefit,” declares the Lord.

33“Now when this people or the prophet or a priest asks you, saying, ‘What is the 910pronouncement of the Lord?’ then you shall say to them, ‘What 11pronouncement?’ The Lord declares, ‘I will 12abandon you.’ 34Then as for the prophet or the priest or the people who say, ‘The 13pronouncement of the Lord,’ I will bring punishment upon that person and his household.
