Jeremiah 23:31 Context
29Is not my word like as a fire, saith the Lord ? and like a hammer that breaketh the rocke in pieces? 30Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, sayth the Lord, that steale my worde euery one from his neighbour. 31Beholde, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that vse their tongues, and say; He sayth. 32Behold, I am against them that prophecie false dreames, sayeth the Lord, and doe tell them, and cause my people to erre by their lyes and by their lightnesse, yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profite this people at all, sayth the Lord. 33¶ And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest shall aske thee, saying; What is the burden of the Lord ? thou shalt then say vnto them; What burden? I will euen forsake you, saith the Lord.
