29. Is not My word like fire, says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
30. See, therefore I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who steal My words, each from his neighbor.
31. See, I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who use their tongues and say, “The Lord says.”
32. See, I am against those who prophesy false dreams, says the Lord, and recount them and cause My people to err by their lies and reckless boasting. Yet I sent them not nor commanded them. Therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says the Lord.
33. When this people or the prophet or a priest asks you, saying, “What is the oracle of the Lord?” you shall then say to them, “What oracle? I will forsake you, says the Lord.”
34. As for the prophet and the priest and the people who say, “The oracle of the Lord,” I will punish that man and his house.
35. Thus each of you will say to his neighbor and to his brother, “What has the Lord answered?” and, “What has the Lord spoken?”
36. And the oracle of the Lord you shall mention no more, for every man’s word will be his oracle. For you have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of Hosts our God.
