Jeremiah 23:27-29
Lexham English Bible
27 who plan to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell each one to his neighbor, just as their ancestors[a] forgot my name through Baal? 28 The prophet who has with him a dream, let him tell the dream. But the prophet[b] who has my word with him, let him speak my word faithfully. What is straw compared to wheat?”[c] declares[d] Yahweh. 29 “Is not my word like fire?” declares[e] Yahweh, “and like a blacksmith’s hammer that breaks a rock into pieces?
