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

³³ If this people, either any prophet or priest ask thee, and say, 'What is the burden of the LORD?' Thou shalt say unto them, 'What burden? I will cast you from me, sayeth the LORD, because ye yourselves are a burden.' ³⁴ And the prophet, priest, or people that useth this term, 'the burden of the LORD' - him will I visit, and his house also. ³⁵ But thus shall ye say, every one to another: What answer hath the LORD given? Or what is the LORD's commandment? ³⁶ And as for 'the burden of the LORD,' ye shall speak no more of it: for every man's own word is his burden, because ye have altered the words of the living God the LORD of Hosts our God. ³⁷ Thus shall every man say to the Prophets, 'What answer hath the LORD given thee?' Or, 'What sayeth the LORD?' ³⁸ And not once to name the burden of the LORD. Therefore thus sayeth the LORD: Forsomuch as ye have used this term, 'the burden of the LORD,' whereas I notwithstanding sent unto you and forbade you to speak of the LORD's burden - ³⁹ Behold therefore, I will repute you as a burden, and will cast you out of my presence: yea and the city also, that I gave you and your fathers. ⁴⁰ And will bring you to an everlasting confusion, and into such a shame, as shall never be forgotten.
