Jeremiah 23:29-33 English Standard Version (ESV)

29. Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

30. Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who steal my words from one another.

31. Behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who use their tongues and declare, ‘declares the Lord.’

32. Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when I did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord.

33. “When one of 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, and I will cast you off, declares the Lord.’
