Jeremiah 23:29-33 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

29. Are not my words like a fire, says the Lord, and like a hammer crushing rock?

30. Therefore, behold: I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who steal my words, each one from his neighbor.

31. Behold, I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who take up their tongues and say: 'The Lord says it.'

32. Behold, I am against the prophets, who dream what is false, says the Lord; who explain and so seduce my people with their falsehoods and with their miracles, though I did not send them, nor did I command them. They have offer nothing beneficial to this people, says the Lord.

33. Therefore, if this people, or a prophet, or a priest questions you, saying, 'What is the burden of the Lord?' you shall say to them, 'You are the burden. And certainly I will cast you away, says the Lord.'
