Jeremiah 23:31-33
English Standard Version
Jeremiah 23:31-33
English Standard Version
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who use their tongues and declare, ‘declares the Lord.’ 32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and (A)lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when (B)I did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord.
33 (C)“When one of this people, or a prophet or a priest asks you, ‘What is the burden of the Lord?’ you shall say to them, ‘You are the burden,[a] and (D)I will cast you off, declares the Lord.’
