King James Version
"Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?"
— Jeremiah 23:29, King James Version
“Is not my word like fire? saith Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? ”
“Isn't my word like fire? says Yahweh; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?”
“My message is like a fire that purges dross! It is like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces! I, the LORD, so affirm it!”
“Are not my words as a fire, saith the Lord: and as a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?”
“Is not my word like fire? says the Lord; and like a hammer, smashing the rock to bits?”
“Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?”
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.
Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
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.
