Jeremiah 23:27-32

27whichH834 thinkH2803 to cause my peopleH5971 to forgetH7911 my nameH8034 by their dreamsH2472 whichH834 they tellH5608 everyH376 manH376 to his neighbour, as their fathersH1 forgat my nameH8034 for BaalH1168.

28The prophetH5030 that hath a dreamH2472, let him tellH1696 a dreamH2472; and he that hath my wordH1697, let him speakH1696 my wordH1697 faithfullyH571. WhatH4100 is the strawH8401 to the wheatH1250? saith the LORDH3068.

29Is notH3808 my wordH1697 like as fireH784? saith the LORDH3068; and like a hammerH6360 that breaketh the rockH5553 in pieces?

30Therefore, beholdH2005, I am againstH5921 the prophetsH5030, saith the LORDH3068, that stealH1589 my wordsH1697 everyH376 one from his neighbour.

31BeholdH2005, I am againstH5921 the prophetsH5030, saith the LORDH3068, that useH3947 their tonguesH3956, and say, He saith.

32BeholdH2005, I am againstH5921 them that prophesyH5012 lyingH8267 dreamsH2472, saith the LORDH3068, and doH6680 tellH5608 them, and cause my peopleH5971 to errH8582 by their liesH8267, and by their vainH8267 boastingH6350: yet I sentH7971 them notH3808, norH3808 commandedH6680 them; neitherH3808 shall they profitH3276 this peopleH5971 at all, saith the LORDH3068.
