Jeremiah 23:33-38

33“Now when these people or a prophet or a priest asks you, ‘What is the burden of the Lord? ’ you will respond to them, ‘What is the burden? I will throw you away! This is the Lord’s declaration.’

34As for the prophet, priest, or people who say, ‘The burden of the Lord,’ I will punish that man and his household.

35This is what each man is to say to his friend and to his brother: ‘What has the Lord answered? ’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’

37Say to the prophet, ‘What has the Lord answered you? ’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’

38But if you say, ‘The burden of the Lord,’ then this is what the Lord says: Because you have said, ‘The burden of the Lord,’ and I specifically told you not to say, ‘The burden of the Lord,’
