Jeremiah 23:33-38
33“Now when this people or the prophet or a priest asks you, saying, ‘What is the 12pronouncement of the Lord?’ then you shall say to them, ‘What 3pronouncement?’ The Lord declares, ‘I will 4abandon you.’
34Then as for the prophet or the priest or the people who say, ‘The 5pronouncement of the Lord,’ I will bring punishment upon that person and his household.
35This is what each one of you will say to his neighbor and to his brother: ‘6What has the Lord answered?’ or, ‘What has the Lord spoken?’
36For you will no longer remember the pronouncement of the Lord, because every person’s own word will become the pronouncement, and you have 7perverted the words of the 8living God, the Lord of armies, our God.
37This is what you will say to that prophet: ‘What has the Lord answered you?’ and, ‘What has the Lord spoken?’
38And if you say, ‘The pronouncement of the Lord!’ for that reason the Lord says this: ‘Because you said this word, “The pronouncement of the Lord!” I have also sent word to you, saying, “You shall not say, ‘The pronouncement of the Lord!’”’
