Jeremiah 23:33-40 World English Bible (WEB)

33. “When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, ‘What is the message from Yahweh?’ Then you shall tell them, ‘“What message? I will cast you off,” says Yahweh.’

34. As for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, who say, ‘The message from Yahweh,’ I will even punish that man and his household.

35. You shall say everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to his brother, ‘What has Yahweh answered?’ and, ‘What has Yahweh spoken?’

36. You shall mention the message from Yahweh no more: for every man’s own word has become his message; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of Yahweh of Armies, our God.

37. You shall say to the prophet, ‘What has Yahweh answered you?’ and, ‘What has Yahweh spoken?’

38. Although you say, ‘The message from Yahweh;’ therefore Yahweh says: ‘Because you say this word, “The message from Yahweh,” and I have sent to you, telling you not to say, “The message from Yahweh;”

39. therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence.

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