The King James Version Bible

Jeremiah 23:31-34

  1. Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

  2. Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.

  3. And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.

  4. And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.
