23 Am I a God near at hand only—oracle of the Lord—and not a God far off?
24 Can anyone hide in secretwithout my seeing them?—oracle of the Lord.Do I not fillheaven and earth?—oracle of the Lord.
25 I have heard the prophets who prophesy lies in my name say, “I had a dream! I had a dream!”
26 How long? Will the hearts of the prophets who prophesy lies and their own deceitful fancies ever turn back?
27 By the dreams they tell each other, they plan to make my people forget my name, just as their ancestors forgot my name for Baal.
28 Let the prophets who have dreams tell their dreams; let those who have my word speak my word truthfully!What has straw to do with wheat?—oracle of the Lord.
29 Is not my word like fire—oracle of the Lord—like a hammer shattering rock?
