Jeremiah 23:28-32

28The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith Yhwh.1

29Is not my word like as a fire? saith Yhwh; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

30Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith Yhwh, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

31Behold, I am against the prophets, saith Yhwh, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.2

32Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith Yhwh, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith Yhwh.
