Jeremiah 23:27-32

27who try to make My people forget My name by their dreams which everyone tells his neighbor, as their fathers forgot My name for Baal.

28“The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat?” says the Lord.

29“Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

30“Therefore behold, I am against the prophets,” says the Lord, “who steal My words every one from his neighbor.

31Behold, I am against the prophets,” says the Lord, “who use their tongues and say, ‘He says.’

32Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” says the Lord, “and tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies and by their recklessness. Yet I did not send them or command them; therefore they shall not profit this people at all,” says the Lord.
