Jeremiah 23:37-40 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

37. And then you will speak in this way to the prophet: 'What has the Lord answered you? And what has the Lord spoken?'

38. But if you say, 'The burden of the Lord!' then because of this, thus says the Lord: Since you have spoken this word, 'The burden of the Lord!' though I sent to you telling you not to say: 'The burden of the Lord,'

39. because of this, behold, I will take you away, like a burden, and I will forsake you, as well as the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, before my face.

40. And I will give you over to an everlasting reproach and an eternal disgrace, which shall never be wiped away into oblivion."
