The verse 31 is found in chapter 23 of Jeremiah. God is not a deity limited to a distant territory: he fills heaven and earth. The prophets who say “I have dreamed” to justify their own messages are confronted by this universal presence. The warning against false “burdens” shows that manipulating Yahweh’s name turns revelation into an instrument of deception.
