Jeremiah23:32
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesie false dreams, , saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to erre 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 .
That is, false things under the notion of things which I have revealed unto them in their sleep.
By lightness, here some understand volubility, and smoothness of tongue and speech: Others, lasciviousness: Others levity and inconstancy, the last seemeth most probably the sense.
I sent them not (saith God) therefore they shall not profit, none can expect Gods blessing upon their Ministry, that are not called, and sent of God into the Ministry.
