33 “And when this people, or the prophet, or the priest asks you, ‘Saying, What is the oracle of YHWH?’ Then you shall say to them ‘What oracle? And I will forsake you?, a declaration of YHWH.’

34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, who say, ‘The oracle of YHWH,’ even I will visit punishment upon that man and upon his house.

35 Thus you? shall say, everyone to his neighbor and everyone to his brother, ‘What has YHWH answered, and what has YHWH spoken?’

36 And the burden of YHWH you shall not mention anymore, for each man’s word will be the burden, and you? have overturned the words of the living God, YHWH of Hosts, our God.

37 Thus you shall say to the prophet: ‘What has YHWH answered you, and what has YHWH spoken?’

38 And if you? say, ‘The burden of YHWH,’ therefore thus says YHWH: Because you? say ‘This word is the burden of YHWH,’ and I sent to you? saying, you shall not say, ‘The burden of YHWH,’

39 therefore, behold, I will also utterly forget you?, and I will cast away you? and the city that I gave to you? and to your? fathers—from before My face,

40 and I will bring upon you? reproach forever and shame forever that will never be forgotten.
