Jeremiah 23:29-34

29Is not my wordH1697 likeH3541 as a fireH784? saithH5002 YhwhH3068; and like a hammerH6360 that breakethH6327 the rockH5553 in piecesH6327? 30Therefore, behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, that stealH1589 my wordsH1697 every oneH376 from his neighbourH7453. 31Behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, that useH3947 their tonguesH3956, and sayH5001, He saithH5002.1 32Behold, I am against them that prophesyH5012 falseH8267 dreamsH2472, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, and do tellH5608 them, and cause my peopleH5971 to errH8582 by their liesH8267, and by their lightnessH6350; yet I sentH7971 them not, nor commandedH6680 them: therefore they shall not profitH3276 this peopleH5971 at allH3276, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.

33And when this peopleH5971, or the prophetH5030, or a priestH3548, shall askH7592 thee, sayingH559, What is the burdenH4853 of YhwhH3068? thou shalt then sayH559 unto them, What burdenH4853? I will even forsakeH5203 you, saithH5002 YhwhH3068. 34And as for the prophetH5030, and the priestH3548, and the peopleH5971, that shall sayH559, The burdenH4853 of YhwhH3068, I will even punishH6485 that manH376 and his houseH1004.2
