Jeremiah 23:23-29

Good News Translation

²³ “I am a God who is everywhere and not in one place only. ^24 (A)No one can hide where I cannot see them. Do you not know that I am everywhere in heaven and on earth? ²⁵ I know what those prophets have said who speak lies in my name and claim that I have given them my messages in their dreams. ²⁶ How much longer will those prophets mislead my people with the lies they have invented? ²⁷ They think that the dreams they tell will make my people forget me, just as their ancestors forgot me and turned to Baal. ²⁸ The prophet who has had a dream should say it is only a dream, but the prophet who has heard my message should proclaim that message faithfully. What good is straw compared with wheat? ²⁹ My message is like a fire and like a hammer that breaks rocks in pieces.
