Jeremiah 23:32-34
New King James Version
32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” says the Lord, “and tell them, and cause My people to err by their (A)lies and by (B)their recklessness. Yet I did not send them or command them; therefore they shall not (C)profit this people at all,” says the Lord.
33 “So when these people or the prophet or the priest ask you, saying, ‘What is (D)the [a]oracle of the Lord?’ you shall then say to them, [b]‘What oracle?’ I will even forsake you,” says the Lord. 34 “And as for the prophet and the priest and the people who say, ‘The [c]oracle of the Lord!’ I will even punish that man and his house.

32 Behold, I am against those who have prophesied (A)false dreams,” declares the Lord, “and reported them and led My people astray by their lies and (B)reckless boasting; yet (C)I did not send them nor command them, nor do they (D)provide this people the slightest benefit,” declares the Lord.
33 “Now when this people or the prophet or a priest asks you, saying, ‘What is the [a](E)pronouncement of the Lord?’ then you shall say to them, ‘What [b]pronouncement?’ The Lord declares, ‘I will (F)abandon you.’ 34 Then as for the prophet or the priest or the people who say, ‘The (G)pronouncement of the Lord,’ I will bring punishment upon that person and his household.

Jeremiah 23:32-34
New International Version
32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,(A)” declares the Lord. “They tell them and lead my people astray(B) with their reckless lies,(C) yet I did not send(D) or appoint them. They do not benefit(E) these people in the least,” declares the Lord.
False Prophecy
33 “When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, ‘What is the message(F) from the Lord?’ say to them, ‘What message? I will forsake(G) you, declares the Lord.’ 34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, ‘This is a message(H) from the Lord,’ I will punish(I) them and their household.

King James Version
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord.
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even punish that man and his house.
