Jeremiah 23:32-34

Good News Translation

³² Listen to what I, the Lord, say! I am against the prophets who tell their dreams that are full of lies. They tell these dreams and lead my people astray with their lies and their boasting. I did not send them or order them to go, and they are of no help at all to the people. I, the Lord, have spoken.”

The Lord's Burden

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 say, ‘You are a burden^[a] 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.
