In context
25I have heard what the prophets say, what they prophesy in my name, saying falsely, I have seen a night vision.
26How long shall these things be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, when they prophesy the purposes of their own heart?
— Jeremiah 23:27 —
28The prophet who has a dream, let him tell his dream; and he in whom is my word spoken to him, let him tell my word truly: what is the chaff to the corn? so are my words, saith the Lord.
29Behold, are not my words as fire? saith the Lord; and as an axe cutting the rock?
