I, the LORD, affirm it! 34 I will punish any prophet, priest, or other person who says“The LORD’s message is burdensome.” I will punish both that person and his whole family.’” 35 So I, Jeremiah, tell you,“Each of you people should say to his friend or his relative,‘How did the LORD answer?

You are misrepresenting the words of our God, the living God, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. 37 Each of you should merely ask the prophet,‘What answer did the LORD give you? Or what did the LORD say?’ 38 But just suppose you continue to say,‘The message of the LORD is burdensome.’ Here is what the LORD says will happen:‘I sent word to you that you must not say,“The LORD’s message is burdensome.” But you used the words“The LORD’s message is burdensome” anyway.
