Jeremiah 23:38-40

New Revised Standard Version Updated 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.^{(A) 40} And I will bring upon you everlasting disgrace and perpetual shame that shall not be forgotten.^(B)
