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.

The verse 32 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.

Siehe, ich will an die, so falsche Träume weissagen, spricht der HERR, und erzählen dieselben und verführen mein Volk mit ihren Lügen und losen Reden, so ich sie doch nicht gesandt und ihnen nichts befohlen habe und sie auch diesem Volk nichts nütze sind, spricht der HERR.
He aquí yo contra los que profetizan sueños mentirosos, dice Jehová y contáronlos, e hicieron errar a mi pueblo con sus mentiras y con sus lisonjas, y yo no los envié, ni les mandé; y ningún provecho hicieron a este pueblo, dice Jehová.
Estoy contra los que profetizan sueños falsos —declara Jehová— y los cuentan, extraviando a mi pueblo con sus mentiras y su temeridad. Yo no los envié ni les di órdenes, y de ningún modo son de provecho para este pueblo —declara Jehová—.
Voici, dit l'Eternel, j'en veux à ceux qui prophétisent des songes faux, Qui les racontent, et qui égarent mon peuple Par leurs mensonges et par leur témérité; Je ne les ai point envoyés, je ne leur ai point donné d'ordre, Et ils ne sont d'aucune utilité à ce peuple, dit l'Eternel.
Eccomi contro a quelli che profetizzano sogni falsi, dice il Signore, e li raccontano, e traviano il mio popolo per le lor bugie, e per la lor temerità; benchè io non li abbia mandati, e non abbia data loro alcuna commessione; e non recheranno alcun giovamento a questo popolo, dice il Signore
Eis que eu sou contra os que profetizam sonhos mentirosos, diz o SENHOR, e os contam, e fazem errar o meu povo com as suas mentiras e com as suas leviandades; pois eu não os enviei, nem lhes dei ordem; e não trouxeram proveito algum a este povo, diz o SENHOR.
那些以假夢為預言,又述說這夢,以謊言和魯莽使我百姓走迷了路的,看哪,我必與他們為敵。這是耶和華說的。我並未差遣他們,也沒有吩咐他們。他們對這百姓毫無益處。這是耶和華說的。
