Jeremiah 23:27-29
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
27 By the dreams they tell each other, they plan to make my people forget my name, just as their ancestors forgot my name for Baal.(A) 28 Let the prophets who have dreams tell their dreams; let those who have my word speak my word truthfully!
What has straw to do with wheat?[a]
—oracle of the Lord.(B)
29 Is not my word like fire—oracle of the Lord—
like a hammer shattering rock?
Jeremiah 23:27-29
New International Version
27 They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget(A) my name, just as their ancestors forgot(B) my name through Baal worship.(C) 28 Let the prophet who has a dream(D) recount the dream, but let the one who has my word(E) speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the Lord. 29 “Is not my word like fire,”(F) declares the Lord, “and like a hammer(G) that breaks a rock in pieces?
