Jeremiah 23:37-39
Good News Translation
37 Jeremiah, ask the prophets, ‘What answer did the Lord give you? What did the Lord say?’ 38 And if they disobey my command and use the words ‘the Lord's burden,’ then tell them that 39 I will certainly pick them up[a] and throw them far away from me, both them and the city that I gave to them and their ancestors.

- Jeremiah 23:39 The Hebrew verb for pick up comes from the same root as the Hebrew word for message and burden.
Jeremiah 23:37-39
New International Version
37 This is what you keep saying to a prophet: ‘What is the Lord’s answer to you?’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 38 Although you claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ this is what the Lord says: You used the words, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ even though I told you that you must not claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord.’ 39 Therefore, I will surely forget you and cast(A) you out of my presence along with the city I gave to you and your ancestors.
