Jeremiah 23:33 Context
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. 34And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people that shal say, The burden of the Lord, I will euen punish that man and his house. 35Thus shall yee say euery one to his neighbour, and euery one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and what hath the Lord spoken?
