Jeremiah 23:28 Context
26How long shall this bee in the heart of the prophets that prophecie lies? yea they are prophets of the deceit of their owne heart; 27Which thinke to cause my people to forget my Name by their dreames which they tell euery man to his neighbour, as their fathers haue forgotten my Name, for Baal. 28The prophet that hath a dreame, let him tell a dreame; and hee that hath my word, let him speake my word faithfully: what is the chaffe to the wheat, sayth the Lord ? 29Is not my word like as a fire, saith the Lord ? and like a hammer that breaketh the rocke in pieces? 30Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, sayth the Lord, that steale my worde euery one from his neighbour.
