Jeremiah 23:33-40

Jeremiah 23:33-40 NCV

“Suppose the people of Judah, a prophet, or a priest asks you: ‘Jeremiah, what is the message from the LORD?’ You will answer them and say, ‘You are a heavy load to the LORD, and I will throw you down, says the LORD.’ A prophet or a priest or one of the people might say, ‘This is a message from the LORD.’ That person has lied, so I will punish him and his whole family. This is what you will say to each other: ‘What did the LORD answer?’ or ‘What did the LORD say?’ But you will never again say, ‘The message of the LORD,’ because the only message you speak is your own words. You have changed the words of our God, the living God, the LORD All-Powerful. This is how you should speak to the prophets: ‘What answer did the LORD give you?’ or ‘What did the LORD say?’ But don’t say, ‘The message from the LORD.’ If you use these words, this is what the LORD says: Because you called it a ‘message from the LORD,’ though I told you not to use those words, I will pick you up and throw you away from me, along with Jerusalem, which I gave to your ancestors and to you. And I will make a disgrace of you forever; your shame will never be forgotten.”
