Is not my word like fire? says the Lord; and like a hammer, smashing the rock to bits?

וּכְפַטִּ֖ישׁ (וּ) u. “and”

See, I am against the prophets of false dreams, says the Lord, who give them out and make my people go out of the way by their deceit and their uncontrolled words: but I did not send them or give them orders; and they will be of no profit to this people,

And if this people, or the prophet, or a priest, questioning you, says, What word of weight is there from the Lord? then you are to say to them, You are the word, for I will not be troubled with you any more, says the Lord.

וְכִי־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And as for the prophet and the priest and the people who say, A word of weight from the Lord! I will send punishment on that man and on his house.

וְאִ֣ישׁ (וְ) ve. “and”וּמַה־ (וּ) u. “and”

And you will no longer put people in mind of the word of weight of the Lord: for every man's word will be a weight on himself; for the words of the living God, of the Lord of armies, our God, have been twisted by you.

וּמַשָּׂ֥א (וּ) u. “and”

This is what you are to say to the prophet, What answer has the Lord given to you? and, What has the Lord said?

וּמַה־ (וּ) u. “and”

For this reason, truly, I will put you completely out of my memory, and I will put you, and the town which I gave to you and to your fathers, away from before my face:
