Jeremiah 23:33-40

33Now when this people or the prophet or a priest asks you, saying, ‘What is the 1,aoracle of Yahweh?’ then you shall say to them, ‘What oracle?’ Yahweh declares, ‘I will babandon you.’ 34Then as for the prophet or the priest or the people who say, ‘The aoracle of Yahweh,’ I will bring punishment upon that man and his household. 35Thus will each of you say to his neighbor and to his brother, ‘aWhat has Yahweh answered?’ or, ‘What has Yahweh spoken?’ 36For you will no longer remember the oracle of Yahweh because every man’s own word will become the oracle, and you have aperverted the words of the bliving God, Yahweh of hosts, our God. 37Thus you will say to that prophet, ‘What has Yahweh answered you?’ and, ‘What has Yahweh spoken?’ 38For if you all say, ‘The oracle of Yahweh!’ surely thus says Yahweh, ‘Because you said this word, “The oracle of Yahweh!” I have also sent to you, saying, “You shall not say, ‘The oracle of Yahweh!’”’ 39Therefore behold, aI will surely forget you and abandon you, along with the city which I gave you and your fathers, so that you are out of My presence. 40I will put an everlasting areproach on you and an everlasting humiliation which will not be forgotten.”
