* "So when these people or the prophet or the priest ask you , saying , "What is the oracle of the LORD ?' you shall then say to them , "What oracle ?' I will even forsake you ," says the LORD . * "And as for the prophet and the priest and the people who say , "The oracle of the LORD !' I will even punish that man and his house . * Thus every one of you shall say to his neighbor , and every one to his brother , "What has the LORD answered ?' and , "What has the LORD spoken ?' * And the oracle of the LORD you shall mention no more . For every man 's word will be his oracle , for you have perverted the words of the living God , the LORD of hosts , our God . * Thus you shall say to the prophet , "What has the LORD answered you ?' and , "What has the LORD spoken ?' * But since you say , "The oracle of the LORD !' therefore thus says the LORD : "Because you say this word , "The oracle of the LORD !" and I have sent to you , saying , "Do not say , "The oracle of the LORD !"' * therefore behold , I , even I , will utterly forget you and forsake you , and the city that I gave you and your fathers , and will cast you out of My presence . * And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you , and a perpetual shame , which shall not be forgotten ."'
