Jeremiah 23:29 in Context — Jeremiah 23
27 Ils pensent faire oublier mon nom à mon peuple Par les songes que chacun d’eux raconte à son prochain, Comme leurs pères ont oublié mon nom pour Baal.
28 Que le prophète qui a eu un songe raconte ce songe, Et que celui qui a entendu ma parole rapporte fidèlement ma parole. Pourquoi mêler la paille au froment? Dit l’Éternel.
29 Ma parole n’est-elle pas comme un feu, dit l’Éternel, Et comme un marteau qui brise le roc?
30 C’est pourquoi voici, dit l’Éternel, j’en veux aux prophètes Qui se dérobent mes paroles l’un à l’autre.
31 Voici, dit l’Éternel, j’en veux aux prophètes Qui prennent leur propre parole et la donnent pour ma parole.
