Jeremiah 23:32-34
American Standard Version
Jeremiah 23:32-34
American Standard Version
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy lying dreams, saith Jehovah, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people at all, saith Jehovah.
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of Jehovah? then shalt thou [a]say unto them, What burden! I will cast you off, saith Jehovah. 34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of Jehovah, I will even punish that man and his house.

New International Version
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.
