Yirmeyahu 23:30-40 ירמיהו כ״ג:ל׳-מ׳

Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says the Lord, that steal My words every one from his neighbour.

Behold, I am against the prophets, says the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He says.

Behold, I am against them that prophesy lying dreams, says the Lord, and do tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says the Lord.

And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say to them, What burden? I will forsake you, says the Lord.

And as for 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.

Thus shall you say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What has the Lord answered? and, What has the Lord spoken?

and the burden of the Lord shall you mention no more: for the burden shall belong to the man of his word; but you have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.

Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What has the Lord answered thee? and, What has the Lord spoken?

But if you say, The burden of the Lord; then thus says the Lord, Because you say this thing, The burden of the Lord, and I have sent to you, saying, You shall not say, The burden of the Lord;

therefore, behold, I myself, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence.

And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
