Jeremiah 23:29
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
“Is not My word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that smashes a rock?”
In context
27 They suppose the dreams that they tell one another will make My people forget My name, just as their fathers forgot My name through the worship of Baal.
28 Let 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.
29 “Is not My word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that smashes a rock?”
30 “Therefore behold,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who steal from one another words they attribute to Me.”
31 “Yes,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and proclaim, ‘The LORD declares it.’”
