Jeremiah 23:37-39

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³⁷ Thus you shall ask the prophet, “What has the Lord answered you?” or “What has the Lord spoken?” 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.^(A)
