Jeremiah 23:38-40

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁸ But if you say, “the burden of the Lord,” thus says the Lord: Because you have said these words, “the burden of the Lord,” when I sent to you, saying, You shall not say, “the burden of the Lord,” ³⁹ therefore, I will surely lift you up^[a] and cast you away from my presence, you and the city that I gave to you and your ancestors. ⁴⁰ And I will bring upon you everlasting disgrace and perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
