The prophet that hath a dream, let him (x) tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. (y) What [is] the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
(x) Let the false prophet declare that it is his own fantasy, and not slander my word as though it were a cloak to cover his lies.
(y) Meaning, that it is not enough for God's ministers to abstain from lies and to speak the word of God but that there is judgment in alleging it, and that it may appear to be applied to the same purpose that it was spoken, (Ezekiel 3:27; 1 Corinthians 2:13; 1 Corinthians 4:2; 2 Timothy 2:25).
