Jeremiah 23:28-32

28The prophetH5030 that hath a dreamH2472, let him tellH5608 a dreamH2472; and he that hath my wordH1697, let him speakH1696 my wordH1697 faithfullyH571. What is the chaffH8401 to the wheatH1250? saithH5002 YhwhH3068.1

29Is not my wordH1697 likeH3541 as a fireH784? saithH5002 YhwhH3068; and like a hammerH6360 that breakethH6327 the rockH5553 in piecesH6327?

30Therefore, behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, that stealH1589 my wordsH1697 every oneH376 from his neighbourH7453.

31Behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, that useH3947 their tonguesH3956, and sayH5001, He saithH5002.2

32Behold, I am against them that prophesyH5012 falseH8267 dreamsH2472, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, and do tellH5608 them, and cause my peopleH5971 to errH8582 by their liesH8267, and by their lightnessH6350; yet I sentH7971 them not, nor commandedH6680 them: therefore they shall not profitH3276 this peopleH5971 at allH3276, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.
