Jeremiah 23:27-29
International Standard Version
27 With their dreams that they relate to one another,[a] they plan to make my people forget my name just as their ancestors forgot my name by embracing[b] Baal. 28 Let the prophet who has a dream relate the dream, but let whoever receives my message[c] speak my message truthfully. What does straw have in common with wheat?” declares the Lord. 29 “My message is like fire or like a hammer that shatters rock, is it not?” declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:27-29
King James Version
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 have forgotten 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 chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.
29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
