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.
33And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.
34And the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.
