Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.	Behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.	Behold, I [am] against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
