Jeremiah 23:31-33

New Catholic Bible

³¹ I am against those prophets who concoct their own prophecies and then assert, “Thus says the Lord.” ³² I am against those prophets who prophesy lying dreams, says the Lord, and then recount them, thereby leading my people astray with their lies and reckless bragging. They have not received any commission from me, and so they are of no benefit to this people in any way, says the Lord.

³³ And when this people or a prophet or a priest asks you, “What is the burden of the Lord?” you are to reply, “You are the burden, and I will cast you off,” says the Lord.
