Jeremiah 23:32-34
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
32 See, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, says the Lord, and who tell them and who lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when I did not send them or command them, so they do not profit this people at all, says the Lord.
33 When this people or a prophet or a priest asks you, “What is the burden of the Lord?” you shall say to them, “You are the burden.[a] I will cast you off, says the Lord.”(A) 34 And as for the prophet, priest, or the people who say, “The burden of the Lord,” I will punish them and their households.(B)

32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,(A)” declares the Lord. “They tell them and lead my people astray(B) with their reckless lies,(C) yet I did not send(D) or appoint them. They do not benefit(E) these people in the least,” declares the Lord.
False Prophecy
33 “When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, ‘What is the message(F) from the Lord?’ say to them, ‘What message? I will forsake(G) you, declares the Lord.’ 34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, ‘This is a message(H) from the Lord,’ I will punish(I) them and their household.
