Exegesis
Finally, the distributive phrase ish me'et re'ehu {אִישׁ מֵאֵת רֵעֵהוּ | ʾîš mē-ʾêṯ rē-ʿê-hu} clarifies that each prophet takes from his neighbor. The Hebrew front-loading of divine judgment heightens the denunciation before detailing the wrongdoing.
In context — Jeremiah 23:30
“Therefore, look, I am against the prophets ,” declares the LORD , “who steal My words, each from his neighbor.”
