9. My head is reeling,my limbs are limp,I’m staggering like a drunk,seeing double from too much wine—And all because of God,because of his holy words.
28-29. “You prophets who do nothing but dream—go ahead and tell your silly dreams.But you prophets who have a message from me—tell it truly and faithfully.What does straw have in common with wheat?Nothing else is like God’s Decree.Isn’t my Message like fire?” God’s Decree.“Isn’t it like a sledgehammer busting a rock?
30-31. “I’ve had it with the ‘prophets’ who get all their sermons secondhand from each other. Yes, I’ve had it with them. They make up stuff and then pretend it’s a real sermon.
32. “Oh yes, I’ve had it with the prophets who preach the lies they dream up, spreading them all over the country, ruining the lives of my people with their cheap and reckless lies.“I never sent these prophets, never authorized a single one of them. They do nothing for this people—nothing!” God’s Decree.
33. “And anyone, including prophets and priests, who asks, ‘What’s God got to say about all this, what’s troubling him?’ tell him, ‘You, you’re the trouble, and I’m getting rid of you.’” God’s Decree.
