The lasting reproach

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

38But if you say, ‘The burden of Yahweh,’ therefore this is what Yahweh says: Because you have said this word, ‘The burden of Yahweh,’ though I sent to you, saying, ‘You shall not say, “The burden of Yahweh,”’

39Therefore, behold, I will surely lift you up and cast you away, you and the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, from before my face.

40And I will put on you everlasting reproach and everlasting disgrace, which will not be forgotten.
