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.

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. {punish: Heb. visit upon}

Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?

And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.

Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
