27
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.
27
They swap dreams with one another, feed on each other's delusive dreams, trying to distract my people from me just as their ancestors were distracted by the no-god Baal.

Through their dreams that they tell one another, they make plans to cause My people to forget My name as their fathers forgot My name through Baal worship.
Jeremiah 23:27 In-Context
25

26
How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds?
27
They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their ancestors forgot my name through Baal worship.

29
“Is not my word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?
