Jeremiah 23:28-32

Contemporary English Version

²⁸ Their dreams and my truth are as different as straw and wheat. But when prophets speak for me, they must say only what I have told them. ²⁹ My words are a powerful fire; they are a hammer that shatters rocks.

^30-32 These unfaithful prophets claim I give them their dreams, but it isn't true. I didn't choose them to be my prophets, and yet they babble on and on, speaking in my name, while stealing words from each other. And when my people hear these liars, they are led astray instead of being helped. So I warn you that I am now the enemy of these prophets. I, the Lord, have spoken.
