27 Who are devising to cause My people To forget My name by their dreams, That they recount each to his neighbour, As their fathers forgot my name for Baal.

28 The prophet with whom is a dream, Let him recount the dream, And he with whom is My word, Let him truly speak My word. What — to the straw with the corn? An affirmation of Jehovah.

29 Is it not thus? My word is as a fire, An affirmation of Jehovah. And as a hammer — it breaketh in pieces a rock.

31 Lo, I am against the prophets, An affirmation of Jehovah, Who are making smooth their tongue, And they affirm — an affirmation.
