25"I have heard the sayings of the prophets who prophesy lies in My name: 'I had a dream! I had a dream!'
“I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.”
“I have heard what the prophets said that prophesy lies in my name saying I have dreamed I have dreamed.”

“which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams, which they tell, tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.”

28Let 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.
“The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream. And he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat, saith the Lord?”
“The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream. And he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat, saith the Lord?”

“The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream, and he that speaks my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat, saith the Lord?”
“The prophet that has a dream, let him tell a dream. And he that has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat, says the Lord?”
29"Is not My word like fire," declares the LORD, "and like a hammer that smashes a rock?"
“Is not my word like as a fire, saith the Lord, and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?”
“is not my word like as a fire, saith the Lord, and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces.”
“Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer which shatters a rock?”
“Is not my word like a fire, saith the Lord, and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?”
“not my word like as a fire, saith the Lord, and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces.”
“not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer which shatters a rock.”
30"Therefore behold," declares the LORD, "I am against the prophets who steal from one another words they attribute to Me."
“Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words, every one from his neighbor.”
“Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words, every one from his neighbor.”
31"Yes," declares the LORD, "I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and proclaim, 'The LORD declares it.'"
“Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues and say he saith.”
“Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues and say, He saith,”
“I am against the prophets says the Lord. Who use their tongues and say. He says.”
“Behold I am against the prophets declares the Lord who use their tongues and say the Lord declares.”
32"Indeed," declares the LORD, "I am against those who prophesy false dreams and retell them to lead My people astray with their reckless lies. It was not I who sent them or commanded them, and they are of no benefit at all to these people," declares the LORD.
“Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their likeness. Yet I sent them not, nor commanded them. Therefore, they shall not profit…”
“Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies and by their likeness. Yet I sent them not, nor commanded them. Therefore, they shall not profit…”
33"Now when this people or a prophet or priest asks you, 'What is the burden of the LORD?' you are to say to them, 'What burden? I will forsake you, declares 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 unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord.”
34As for the prophet or priest or anyone who claims, 'This is the burden of the LORD,' I will punish that man and his household.
“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 in his house.”
35This is what each man is to say to his friend and to his brother: 'What has the LORD answered?' or 'What has the LORD spoken?'
“"...Thus shall each of you say to his neighbor and to his brother, what has the Lord answered, or what has the Lord spoken?”
36But refer no more to the burden of the LORD, for each man's word becomes the burden, so that you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of Hosts, our God.
“And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more, for every man's word shall be his burden, for ye have perverted the words of the living God of the Lord of hosts, our God.”
37Thus you are to say to the prophet: 'What has the LORD answered you?' and 'What has the LORD spoken?'
“Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, what hath the Lord answered thee and what hath the Lord spoken?”
38But if you claim, 'This is the burden of the LORD,' then this is what the LORD says: Because you have said, 'This is the burden of the LORD,' and I specifically told you not to make this claim,
“But since ye say, The burden of the Lord, Therefore, thus saith the Lord, because ye say this word, the burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say the burden of the Lord.”
39therefore I will surely forget you and will cast you out of My presence, both you and the city that I gave to you and your fathers.
“Therefore, behold, I am even, I will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you, and your fathers, and have cast you out of my presence.”
40And I will bring upon you everlasting shame and perpetual humiliation that will never be forgotten."
“And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame which shall not be forgotten.”
“I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you and a perpetual shame which shall not be forgotten.”
