I have dreamed! 26 How long shall it be in the heart of the prophets, To be prophets of falsehood, - And prophets of the deceit of their own heart? 27 Who lay a plot to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they relate every man to his neighbour, - Just as their fathers forgat, my name, for Baal.
