Jeremiah 23:29 Context
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. 31Beholde, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that vse their tongues, and say; He sayth.
