* 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 man 's 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 .
