Jeremiah:23:33-40

*
And when this people ,
or the prophet ,
or a priest ,
shall ask thee ,
saying ,
What is the burden of the LORD ?
thou shalt then say unto them ,
What burden ?
I will even forsake you ,
saith the LORD .
*
And as for the prophet ,
and the priest ,
and the people ,
that shall say ,
The burden of the LORD ,
I will even punish that man and his house .
*
Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour ,
and every one to his brother ,
What hath the LORD answered ?
and ,
What hath the LORD spoken ?
*
And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more :
for every mans word shall be his burden ;
for ye have perverted the words of the living God ,
of the LORD of hosts our God .
*
Thus shalt thou say to the prophet ,
What hath the LORD answered thee ?
and ,
What hath the LORD spoken ?
*
But since ye say ,
The burden of the LORD ;
therefore thus saith the LORD ;
Because ye say this word ,
The burden of the LORD ,
and I have sent unto you ,
saying ,
Ye shall not say ,
The burden of the LORD ;
*
Therefore ,
behold ,
I ,
even I ,
will utterly forget you ,
and I will forsake you ,
and the city that I gave you and your fathers ,
and cast you out of my presence :
*
And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you ,
and a perpetual shame ,
which shall not be forgotten .
