Jeremiah 23:23-30 Good News Bible (GNB)

23. “I am a God who is everywhere and not in one place only.

24. No one can hide where I cannot see him. Do you not know that I am everywhere in heaven and on earth?

25. I know what those prophets have said who speak lies in my name and claim that I have given them my messages in their dreams.

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.
