²⁵ “I have heard what the prophets who prophesy lies^[a] have said in my name, saying,^[b] ‘I have dreamed! I have dreamed!’ ²⁶ How long^[c] will this be in the hearts^[d] of the prophets who prophesy lies,^[e] even the prophets of the deceitfulness of their hearts,^{[f] 27} who plan to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell each one to his neighbor, just as their ancestors^[g] forgot my name through Baal? ²⁸ The prophet who has with him a dream, let him tell the dream. But the prophet^[h] who has my word with him, let him speak my word faithfully. What is straw compared to wheat?”^[i] declares^[j] Yahweh. ²⁹ “Is not my word like fire?” declares^[k] Yahweh, “and like a blacksmith’s hammer that breaks a rock into pieces?

³⁰ “Therefore^[l] look, I am against the prophets,” declares^[m] Yahweh, “who steal my words each one from his neighbor. ³¹ Look, I am against the prophets,” declares^[n] Yahweh, “who take their tongues^[o] and declare as prophets, ‘Yahweh declares.’^{[p] 32} Look, I am against those who prophesy dreams of lies,”^[q] declares^[r] Yahweh, “and tell them, and they caused my people to err through their lies, and in their recklessness, when I myself have not sent them nor commanded them, so they profit not this people at all,” declares^[s] Yahweh.
