Jeremiah 23:29-33 Modern English Version (MEV)

29. Is not My word like fire, says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

30. See, therefore I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who steal My words, each from his neighbor.

31. See, I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who use their tongues and say, “The Lord says.”

32. See, I am against those who prophesy false dreams, says the Lord, and recount them and cause My people to err by their lies and reckless boasting. Yet I sent them not nor commanded them. Therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says the Lord.

33. When this people or the prophet or a priest asks you, saying, “What is the oracle of the Lord?” you shall then say to them, “What oracle? I will forsake you, says the Lord.”
