“ I have heard what the prophets are saying. They prophesy lies in my name. They say,‘ I had a dream! The Lord has given me a dream!’

我已听见那些先知所说的，就是托我名说的假预言，他们说：‘我做了梦！我做了梦！’

我已听见那些先知所说的，他们托我的名说假预言：“我做了梦！我做了梦！”

我已听见那些先知所说的，他们托我的名说假预言：“我做了梦！我做了梦！”

我听见假先知奉我的名说，‘上帝托梦给我了！上帝托梦给我了！’

“那些先知所说的话我都听见了，他们冒我的名说虚假的预言：‘我作了梦！我作了梦！’

我已聽見那些先知所說的，就是託我名說的假預言，他們說：『我做了夢！我做了夢！』

我已聽見那些先知所說的，他們託我的名說假預言：「我做了夢！我做了夢！」

我已聽見那些先知所說的，他們託我的名說假預言：「我做了夢！我做了夢！」

我聽見假先知奉我的名說，『上帝託夢給我了！上帝託夢給我了！』

“那些先知所說的話我都聽見了，他們冒我的名說虛假的預言：‘我作了夢！我作了夢！’

那些神言人所說的、我都聽見了，他們冒我名傳虛假為神言說：「我作了夢了！我作了夢了！」

惟彼先知、妄託我名宣預言曰、我得夢矣、我得夢矣、彼所言者、予聞之矣、

惟彼先知、佯托我名、自言得夢者再、我聞其語。

惟彼先知、佯託我名、傳述預言曰、我得夢矣、我得夢矣、其所言我聞之矣、

“ I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. They say,‘ I had a dream! I had a dream!’

I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying,‘ I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’

“ I have heard these prophets say,‘ Listen to the dream I had from God last night.’ And then they proceed to tell lies in my name.

“ I have heard what the prophets who prophesy a lie in my name have said:‘ I had a dream! I had a dream!’

“ I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy falsely in My name, saying,‘ I had a dream, I had a dream!’

“ I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in My name, saying,‘ I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’

I have heard what the prophets have said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

“ I have heard what the prophets who prophesy a lie in My name have said,‘ I had a dream! I had a dream!’

I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

The LORD says,“ I have heard what those prophets who are prophesying lies in my name are saying. They are saying,‘ I have had a dream! I have had a dream!’

“ I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying,‘ I had a dream! I had a dream!’

I am against prophets who talk about dreams that did not come from me,” announces the Lord.“ They tell foolish lies. Their lies lead my people astray. But I did not send these prophets. I did not appoint them. They do not help my people in the least,” announces the Lord.

“ After that, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will have dreams. Your young men will have visions.

The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says,“ Do not let the prophets trick you. Do not be fooled by those who claim to have secret knowledge. Do not listen to people who try to explain their dreams to you.

Let the prophet who has a dream describe the dream. But let the one who has my message speak it faithfully. Your prophets have given you straw to eat instead of grain,” announces the Lord.

I have listened carefully. But they do not say what is right. They refuse to turn away from their sins. None of them says,‘ What have I done?’ Each of them goes their own way. They are like horses charging into battle.

So don’t judge anything before the appointed time. Wait until the Lord returns. He will bring to light what is hidden in the dark. He will show the real reasons why people do what they do. At that time each person will receive their praise from God.

Then the Lord said,“ Listen to my words.“ Suppose there is a prophet among you. I, the Lord, make myself known to them in visions. I speak to them in dreams.

My eyes see everything these people do. What they do is not hidden from me. I always see their sin.

But as Joseph was thinking about this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. The angel said,“ Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary home as your wife. The baby inside her is from the Holy Spirit.

Lord, even before I speak a word, you know all about it.

Joseph had a dream. When he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.

You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know what I’m thinking even though you are far away.

Then the Lord said to me,“ The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them. I have not even spoken to them. Everything they tell you about their visions or secret knowledge is a lie. They pretend to bring you messages from other gods. They try to get you to believe their own mistaken ideas.

Then Joseph had another dream. He told it to his brothers.“ Listen,” he said.“ I had another dream. This time the sun and moon and 11 stars were bowing down to me.”

I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I search hearts and minds. I will pay each of you back for what you have done.

That will happen because they have done awful things in Israel. They have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives. They have spoken lies in my name. I did not give them the authority to speak those things. I know what they have done. And I am a witness to it,” announces the Lord.

They will see that you have not been faithful to me. You have committed adultery with other gods. And you have acted like a prostitute who does not have any shame. I have seen what you did on the hills and in the fields. And I hate it. How terrible it will be for you, Jerusalem! How long will you choose to be‘ unclean’?”

Nothing God created is hidden from him. His eyes see everything. He will hold us responsible for everything we do.

What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight. What you have whispered to someone behind closed doors will be shouted from the rooftops.
