* "
When one of this people ,
or a prophet ,
or a priest asks you , `
What is the burden of the LORD ?'
you shall say to them , `
You are the burden ,
and I will cast you off ,
says the LORD .'
*
And as for the prophet ,
priest ,
or one of the people who says , `
The burden of the LORD ,'
I will punish that man and his household .
*
Thus shall you say ,
every one to his neighbor and every one to his brother , `
What has the LORD answered ?'
or `
What has the LORD spoken ?'
*
But `
the burden of the LORD '
you shall mention no more ,
for the burden is every man '
s own word ,
and you pervert 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 ?'
or `
What has the LORD spoken ?'
