Jeremiah 23:33-40 - The Burden Of The Lord

33 But when this people or a prophet or a priest shall ask thee saying What is the oracle of Yahweh? Then shalt thou say unto them Ye, yourselves, are the oracle, Therefore will I reject you Declareth Yahweh; 34 But the prophet, or the priest or the people who shall say - the oracle of Yahweh, I will bring punishment upon that man and upon his house. 35 Thus, shall ye say - every man mite his neighbour and every man unto his brother, - What hath Yahweh, answered? or, What hath Yahweh, spoken? 36 but the oracle of Yahweh, shall ye not mention, any more, - for, every man's oracle, shall be his own word, because ye have perverted the words of a Living God, Yahweh of hosts our God. 37 Thus, shall thou say unto the prophet, - What hath Yahweh, answered thee? or What hath Yahweh, spoken? 38 But, since ye keep on saying, The Oracle of Yahweh, therefore, Thus saith Yahweh, Because ye have said this word, The oracle of Yahweh, whereas I had sent unto you saying, Ye shall not say, The oracle of Yahweh 39 therefore, behold me! I will lift you up, - and carry you away, and the city which I gave to you and to your fathers from before my face; 40 and will give unto you reproach age-abiding, - and disgrace age-abiding, which shall not be forgotten.
