Jeremiah 23:32-34
English Standard Version Anglicised
32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and (A)lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when (B)I did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord.
33 (C)“When one of this people, or a prophet or a priest asks you, ‘What is the burden of the Lord?’ you shall say to them, ‘You are the burden,[a] and (D)I will cast you off, declares the Lord.’ 34 And as for the prophet, priest, or one of the people who says, ‘The burden of the Lord’, (E)I will punish that man and his household.

32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,(A)” declares the Lord. “They tell them and lead my people astray(B) with their reckless lies,(C) yet I did not send(D) or appoint them. They do not benefit(E) these people in the least,” declares the Lord.
False Prophecy
33 “When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, ‘What is the message(F) from the Lord?’ say to them, ‘What message? I will forsake(G) you, declares the Lord.’ 34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, ‘This is a message(H) from the Lord,’ I will punish(I) them and their household.
