New King James Version

Jeremiah 23:38-40 New King James Version (NKJV)

38. But since you say, ‘The oracle of the Lord!’ therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Because you say this word, “The oracle of the Lord!” and I have sent to you, saying, “Do not say, ‘The oracle of the Lord!’ ”

39. therefore behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you and forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and will cast you out of My presence.

40. And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.’ ”
