“Thus says Yahweh of hosts!
The God of Israel!
‘Do not let the prophets
Who are among you
Deceive you!
Do not let the diviners
Who are among you
Deceive you!
Do not listen
To the dreams
That they dream!
It is a lie
That they are prophesying
To you
In my name.
I did not send them.’
Says Yahweh.”
This Jeremiah letter has another classic Yahweh oracle title, as Yahweh of hosts and the God of Israel are invoked as the source of this warning. They should not be deceived by the prophets and the diviners among them. They should not listen to their dreams, since they are a lie. They prophesy lies in the name of Yahweh, since he did not send these false prophets.
