The New Life in Christ: What has straw in common with wheat? says the LORD. Jeremiah 23:28.

Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! Jeremiah 23:1.

I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying, “I have dreamed, I have dreamed!” How long? Will the hearts of the prophets ever turn back-those who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart?

They plan to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, just as their ancestors forgot my name for Baal.

Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let the one who has my word speak my word faithfully.

Is not my word like fire, says the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?

See, therefore, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, who steal my words from one another.

See, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, who use their own tongues and say, “Says the LORD.”

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 appoint them; so they do not profit this people at all, says the LORD. Jeremiah 23:25-32. Amen.
