Jeremiah 23:26-28
Lexham English Bible
26 How long[a] will this be in the hearts[b] of the prophets who prophesy lies,[c] even the prophets of the deceitfulness of their hearts,[d] 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[e] forgot my name through Baal? 28 The prophet who has with him a dream, let him tell the dream. But the prophet[f] who has my word with him, let him speak my word faithfully. What is straw compared to wheat?”[g] declares[h] Yahweh.
