Bible verse
“I have heard the sayings of the prophets who prophesy lies in My name: ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’
Jeremiah 23:25 · BSB
The verses around it, from Jeremiah 23.
21 I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in My council, they would have proclaimed My words to My people and turned them back from their evil ways and deeds.”
23 “Am I only a God nearby,” declares the LORD, “and not a God far away?”
24 “Can a man hide in secret places where I cannot see him?” declares the LORD. “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the LORD.
25 “I have heard the sayings of the prophets who prophesy lies in My name: ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’
26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these prophets who prophesy falsehood, these prophets of the delusion of their own minds?
27 They suppose the dreams that they tell one another will make My people forget My name, just as their fathers forgot My name through the worship of Baal.
28 Let the prophet who has a dream retell it, but let him who has My word speak it truthfully. For what is straw compared to grain?” declares the LORD.
29 “Is not My word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that smashes a rock?”
