Jeremiah 23:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 Think they to cause [a]my people to forget my Name by their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their forefathers have forgotten my Name for Baal?
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him [b]tell a dream, and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully: [c]what is the chaff to the wheat, saith the Lord?
29 Is not my word even like a fire, saith the Lord? and like an hammer, that breaketh the stone?
