Jeremiah 23:33–40

33 “Now when this people, or a prophet, or a priest, ask you, saying,v ‘What is the burdenw of Yahweh?’ then you shall say to them, ‘You are the burden,x and I will forsake you, declaresy Yahweh.’ 34 And the prophet, and the priest, and the people who say, ‘The burdenz of Yahweh,’ I will punish that man and his house. 35 Thus you shall say, each one to his neighbor and each one to his brother: ‘What has Yahweh answered?’ or, ‘What has Yahweh spoken?’ 36 But the burdena of Yahweh you shall not mention again, for the burdenb is to each one his word, and so you twist the words of the living God, Yahweh of hosts, our God. 37 Thus you shall say to that prophet: ‘What has Yahweh answered you?’ or, ‘What has Yahweh spoken?’ 38 But if you say, ‘The burdenc of Yahweh,’ therefored thus says Yahweh: ‘Because of your saying these words,e “The burdenf of Yahweh,” then I will send to you, saying,g “You shall not say, ‘The burdenh of Yahweh.’ ” ’ 39 Thereforei look, here I am, and I will surely lift you up and forsake you and the city that I gave to you and to your ancestorsj from my presence,k 40 and I will bring upon you an everlasting disgracel and an everlasting shamem that will not be forgotten.”
