Jeremiah 23:28-30
1599 Geneva Bible
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him [a]tell a dream, and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully: [b]what is the chaff to the wheat, saith the Lord?
29 Is not my word even like a fire, saith the Lord? and like an hammer, that breaketh the stone?
30 Therefore behold, I will come against the prophets, saith the Lord, that [c]steal my word every one from his neighbor.
