Jeremiah 23:35-40 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

35. Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and, What hath the Lord spoken?

36. And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more: for every man's own word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.

37. Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and, What hath the Lord spoken?

38. But if ye say, The burden of the Lord; therefore thus saith the Lord: Because ye say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord;

39. therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave unto you and to your fathers, away from my presence:

40. and I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame which shall not be forgotten.
