Jeremiah 23:28
New King James Version
28 “The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream;
And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully.
What is the chaff to the wheat?” says the Lord.
Jeremiah 23:13-16
New King James Version
13 “And I have seen [a]folly in the prophets of Samaria:
(A)They prophesied by Baal
And (B)caused My people Israel to err.
14 Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem:
(C)They commit adultery and walk in lies;
They also (D)strengthen the hands of evildoers,
So that no one turns back from his wickedness.
All of them are like (E)Sodom to Me,
And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
15 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
‘Behold, I will feed them with (F)wormwood,
And make them drink the water of gall;
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
[b]Profaneness has gone out into all the land.’ ”
16 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They make you worthless;
(G)They speak a vision of their own heart,
Not from the mouth of the Lord.
