Jeremiah 23:29
King James VersionSource notes
“not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer breaketh the rock in pieces?”
Context
26How long shall be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27Which 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.
28The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
29not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer breaketh the rock in pieces?
30Therefore, behold, I against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
31Behold, I against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
32Behold, I against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
