25. “There are prophets who tell lies in my name. They say, ‘I have had a dream! I have had a dream!’ I heard them say those things.
26. How long will this continue? They think up lies and then they teach them to the people.
27. They are trying to make the people of Judah forget my name by telling each other these false dreams. They are trying to make my people forget me, just as their ancestors forgot me and worshiped the false god Baal.
28. Straw is not the same as wheat! In the same way, the dreams of those prophets are not messages from me. If people want to tell about their dreams, let them. But those who hear my message must speak it truthfully.” This is what the Lord says.
29. Yes, the Lord says, “You must treat my message carefully, like a fire or like a hammer that can smash a rock.”
