Jeremiah 23:28 in Context — Jeremiah 23

26 Até quando [será isto] no coração dos profetas que profetizam mentiras, dos que profetizam o engano de seu coração?

27 Que pretendem, por meio de seus sonhos que cada um conta a seu próximo, fazer com que meu povo se esqueça de meu nome, tal como seus pais se esqueceram de meu nome por causa de Baal.

28 O profeta que tiver sonho, conte o sonho; e aquele que tiver minha palavra, conte minha palavra de forma fiel. O que a palha tem a ver com o trigo?,diz o SENHOR.

29 Por acaso não é minha palavra como o fogo?diz o SENHOR, E como um martelo que esmigalha a pedra?

30 Portanto eis que eu sou contra os profetas,diz o SENHOR, que furtam minhas palavras cada um de seu próximo.
