Jeremiah 23:26

The Unfaithful Prophets

²⁵ I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy falsely in my name. They say: 'I had a dream! I had a dream! ²⁶ How long? Is there anything in the hearts of the prophets who prophesy falsehood, even these prophets of the deception of their own heart, ²⁷ They think the dreams they tell will make my people forget my name, just as their ancestors forgot my name and turned to Baal worship.
