Jeremiah 23:33-40

³³ And when this people, or the prophet, Or a priest, doth ask thee, saying, What 'is' the burden of Jehovah? Then thou hast said unto them: Ye 'are' the burden, and I have left you, An affirmation of Jehovah. ³⁴ And the prophet, and the priest, and the people, That saith, The burden of Jehovah, I have seen after that man, and after his house. ³⁵ Thus do ye say each unto his neighbour, And each unto his brother: What hath Jehovah answered? And what hath Jehovah spoken? ³⁶ And the burden of Jehovah ye do not mention any more, For the burden to each is—His word, And ye have overturned the words of the living God, Jehovah of Hosts, our God. ³⁷ Thus dost thou say unto the prophet What hath Jehovah answered thee? And what hath Jehovah spoken? ³⁸ And if the burden of Jehovah ye say, Therefore thus said Jehovah: Because of your saying this word, The burden of Jehovah, And I do send unto you, saying, Ye do not say, The burden of Jehovah. ³⁹ Therefore, lo, I—I have taken you utterly away, And I have sent you out, And the city that I gave to you, And to your fathers, from before My face, ⁴⁰ And I have put on you reproach age-during, And shame age-during that is not forgotten!
