25. I have heard what the prophets have said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies; even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
27. which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers forgat my name for Baal.
28. The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat? saith the Lord.
29. Is not my word like as fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30. Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
31. Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
32. Behold, I am against them that prophesy lying dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; neither shall they profit this people at all, saith the Lord.
33. And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? then shalt thou say unto them, What burden! I will cast you off, saith the Lord.
