Jeremiah 23:38
Since - Or, But if ye say.
36 And the oracle of the Lord you shall mention no more. For every man’s word will be his oracle, for you have aperverted the words of the living God, the Lord of hosts, our God.
37 Thus you shall say to the prophet, ‘What has the Lord answered you?’ and, ‘What has the Lord spoken?’
38 But since you say, ‘The oracle of the Lord!’ therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Because you say this word, “The oracle of the Lord!” and I have sent to you, saying, “Do not say, ‘The oracle of the Lord!’ ”
39 therefore behold, I, even I, awill utterly forget you and forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and will cast you out of My presence.
40 And I will bring aan everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual bshame, which shall not be forgotten.’ ”
