“ 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.

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 are saying. They prophesy lies in my name. They say,‘ I had a dream! The Lord has given me 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 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 these false prophets. Their imaginary dreams are flagrant lies that lead my people into sin. I did not send or appoint them, and they have no message at all for my people. I, the Lord, have spoken!

“ Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions.

This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says:“ Do not let your prophets and fortune tellers who are with you in the land of Babylon trick you. Do not listen to their dreams,

“ Let these false prophets tell their dreams, but let my true messengers faithfully proclaim my every word. There is a difference between straw and grain!

I listen to their conversations and don’t hear a word of truth. Is anyone sorry for doing wrong? Does anyone say,“ What a terrible thing I have done”? No! All are running down the path of sin as swiftly as a horse galloping into battle!

So don’t make judgments about anyone ahead of time— before the Lord returns. For he will bring our darkest secrets to light and will reveal our private motives. Then God will give to each one whatever praise is due.

And the Lord said to them,“ Now listen to what I say:“ If there were prophets among you, I, the Lord, would reveal myself in visions. I would speak to them in dreams.

I am watching them closely, and I see every sin. They cannot hope to hide from me.

As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream.“ Joseph, son of David,” the angel said,“ do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit.

You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.

One night Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him more than ever.

You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.

Then the Lord said,“ These prophets are telling lies in my name. I did not send them or tell them to speak. I did not give them any messages. They prophesy of visions and revelations they have never seen or heard. They speak foolishness made up in their own lying hearts.

Soon Joseph had another dream, and again he told his brothers about it.“ Listen, I have had another dream,” he said.“ The sun, moon, and eleven stars bowed low before me!”

I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches out the thoughts and intentions of every person. And I will give to each of you whatever you deserve.

For these men have done terrible things among my people. They have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives and have lied in my name, saying things I did not command. I am a witness to this. I, the Lord, have spoken.”

I have seen your adultery and lust, and your disgusting idol worship out in the fields and on the hills. What sorrow awaits you, Jerusalem! How long before you are pure?”

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.

Whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the housetops for all to hear!
