which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers
forgot my name for Baal.
023:028 The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream;
and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully.
What is the straw to the wheat? says Yahweh.
023:029 Isn't my word like fire? says Yahweh; and like a hammer
that breaks the rock in pieces?
023:030 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says Yahweh,
who steal my words everyone from his neighbor.
023:031 Behold, I am against the prophets, says Yahweh, who use
their tongues, and say, He says.
023:032 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, says Yahweh,
and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies,
and by their vain boasting: yet I didn't send them,
nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people
at all, says Yahweh.
023:033 When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you,
saying, What is the burden of Yahweh? then shall you tell them,
What burden! I will cast you off, says Yahweh.
023:034 As for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, who shall say,
The burden of Yahweh, I will even punish that man and his house.
023:035 Thus shall you say everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to

023:038 But if you say, The burden of Yahweh; therefore thus
says Yahweh: Because you say this word, The burden of Yahweh,
and I have sent to you, saying, You shall not say,
The burden of Yahweh;
023:039 therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast
you off, and the city that I gave to you and to your fathers,
away from my presence:
023:040 and I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a
perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

the temple of Yahweh, after that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim,
king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen
and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
024:002 One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe;
and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten,
they were so bad.
024:003 Then said Yahweh to me, What see you, Jeremiah? I said, Figs;
