Jeremiah 23:26-31 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

26. How much longer will those prophets mislead my people with the lies they have invented?

27. They think that the dreams they tell will make my people forget me, just as their ancestors forgot me and turned to Baal.

28. The prophet who has had a dream should say it is only a dream, but the prophet who has heard my message should proclaim that message faithfully. What good is straw compared with wheat?

29. My message is like a fire, and like a hammer that breaks rocks in pieces.

30. I am against those prophets who take each other's words and proclaim them as my message.

31. I am also against those prophets who speak their own words and claim they came from me.
