Jeremiah 23 — Context

36

And you will no longer put people in mind of the word of weight of the Lord: for every man's word will be a weight on himself; for the words of the living God, of the Lord of armies, our God, have been twisted by you.

37

This is what you are to say to the prophet, What answer has the Lord given to you? and, What has the Lord said?

38

But if you say, The word of weight of the Lord; this is what the Lord has said: Because you say, The weight of the Lord, and I have sent to you, saying, You are not to say, The weight of the Lord;

39

For this reason, truly, I will put you completely out of my memory, and I will put you, and the town which I gave to you and to your fathers, away from before my face:

40

And I will give you a name without honour for ever, and unending shame which will never go from the memory of men.
