Jeremiah 23:37-39

International Children’s Bible

³⁷ This is how you speak to the prophets: ‘What answer did the Lord give you?’ or ‘What did the Lord say?’ ³⁸ But don’t say, ‘What was the message from the Lord?’ If you use these words, the Lord will say this to you: You should not have called it a message from the Lord. I told you not to use those words. ³⁹ I will pick you up like a heavy load. And I’ll throw you away from me. I gave the city of Jerusalem to your ancestors and to you. But I will throw you and that city away from me.
