25 “I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in My name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’
26 How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart,
27 who try to make My people forget My name by their dreams which everyone tells his neighbor, aas their fathers forgot My name for Baal.
28 “The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream;
And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully.
What is the chaff to the wheat?” says the Lord.

33 “So when these people or the prophet or the priest ask you, saying, ‘What is athe oracle of the Lord?’ you shall then say to them,2 ‘What oracle?’ I will even forsake you,” says the Lord.
34 “And as for the prophet and the priest and the people who say, ‘The1 oracle of the Lord!’ I will even punish that man and his house.
