The prophets of falsehood, Yea, prophets of the deceit of their heart, 27 Who are devising to cause My people To forget My name by their dreams, That they recount each to his neighbour, As their fathers forgot my name for Baal. 28 The prophet with whom `is' a dream, Let him recount the dream, And he with whom `is' My word, Let him truly speak My word.
