Jeremiah 23:29-34

29Is not my wordH1697 like fireH784? saith Jehovah; and like a hammerH6360 that breaketh the rockH5553 in pieces? 30ThereforeH3651, behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saith Jehovah, that stealH1589 my wordsH1697 every oneH376 from his neighborH7453. 31Behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saith Jehovah, that use their tonguesH3956, and say, He saith. 32Behold, I am against them that prophesyH5012 lyingH8267 dreamsH2472, saith Jehovah, and do tell them, and cause my peopleH5971 to errH8582 by their liesH8267, and by their vain boasting: yet I sentH7971 them not, nor commandedH6680 them; neither do they profitH3276 this peopleH5971 at all, saith Jehovah.

33And when this peopleH5971, or the prophetH5030, or a priestH3548, shall askH7592 thee, sayingH559, What is the burdenH4853 of Jehovah? then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, What burdenH4853! I will cast you off, saith Jehovah. 34And as for the prophetH5030, and the priestH3548, and the peopleH5971, that shall sayH559, The burdenH4853 of Jehovah, I will even punishH6485 that manH376 and his houseH1004.
