Jeremiah 23:25-32

I have heard
<08085> (8804)
what the prophets
<05030>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
that prophesy
<05012> (8737)
lies
<08267>
in my name
<08034>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)_,
I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)_.
How long shall [this] be
<03426>
in the heart
<03820>
of the prophets
<05030>
that prophesy
<05012> (8737)
lies
<08267>_?
yea, [they are] prophets
<05030>
of the deceit
<08649>
of their own heart
<03820>_;
Which think
<02803> (8802)
to cause my people
<05971>
to forget
<07911> (8687)
my name
<08034>
by their dreams
<02472>
which they tell
<05608> (8762)
every man
<0376>
to his neighbour
<07453>_,
as their fathers
<01>
have forgotten
<07911> (8804)
my name
<08034>
for Baal
<01168>_.
The prophet
<05030>
that hath a dream
<02472>_,
let him tell
<05608> (8762)
a dream
<02472>_;
and he that hath my word
<01697>_,
let him speak
<01696> (8762)
my word
<01697>
faithfully
<0571>_.
What [is] the chaff
<08401>
to the wheat
<01250>_?
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{that hath a dream: Heb. with whom is, etc}
[Is] not my word
<01697>
like
<03541>
as a fire
<0784>_?
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and like a hammer
<06360>
[that] breaketh
<06327> (0)
the rock
<05553>
in pieces
<06327> (8787)_?
Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets
<05030>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that steal
<01589> (8764)
my words
<01697>
every one
<0376>
from his neighbour
<07453>_.
Behold, I [am] against the prophets
<05030>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that use
<03947> (8802)
their tongues
<03956>_,
and say
<05001> (8799)_,
He saith
<05002> (8803)_.
{that...: or, that smooth their tongues}
Behold, I [am] against them that prophesy
<05012> (8737)
false
<08267>
dreams
<02472>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and do tell
<05608> (8762)
them, and cause my people
<05971>
to err
<08582> (8686)
by their lies
<08267>_,
and by their lightness
<06350>_;
yet I sent
<07971> (8804)
them not, nor commanded
<06680> (8765)
them: therefore they shall not profit
<03276> (8686)
this people
<05971>
at all
<03276> (8687)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
