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. 40 I will bring on them everlasting shame and disgrace that will never be forgotten.”

Jeremiah 23:38-40
New International Version
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. 40 I will bring on you everlasting disgrace(B)—everlasting shame that will not be forgotten.”
