26 How long[a] will this be in the hearts[b] of the prophets who prophesy lies,[c] even the prophets of the deceitfulness of their hearts,[d] 27 who plan to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell each one to his neighbor, just as their ancestors[e] forgot my name through Baal? 28 The prophet who has with him a dream, let him tell the dream. But the prophet[f] who has my word with him, let him speak my word faithfully. What is straw compared to wheat?”[g] declares[h] Yahweh.

King James Version
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.
