Jeremiah 23:23-30 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

23. Am I a God at hand, saith Jehovah, and not a God afar off?

24. Can any hide himself in secret places, that I shall not see him? saith Jehovah. Do not I fill the heavens and the earth? saith Jehovah.

25. I have heard what the prophets say, who prophesy falsehood in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

26. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy falsehood, and who are prophets of the deceit of their own heart?

27. who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour: as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

28. The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell the dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith Jehovah.

29. Is not my word like a fire, saith Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

30. Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
