33. The Lord said to me, “Jeremiah, when one of my people or a prophet or a priest asks you, ‘What is the Lord's message?’ you are to tell him, ‘You are a burden to the Lord, and he is going to get rid of you.’
34. If any of my people or a prophet or a priest even uses the words ‘the Lord's burden’, I will punish them and their families.
35. Instead, they should each ask their friends and relatives, ‘What answer has the Lord given? What has the Lord said?’
36. So they must no longer use the words ‘the Lord's burden’, because if anyone does, I will make my message a real burden to him. The people have perverted the words of their God, the living God, the Lord Almighty.
37. Jeremiah, ask the prophets, ‘What answer did the Lord give you? What did the Lord say?’
