Jeremiah 23:38 in Context — Jeremiah 23
36 Y nunca más os vendrá á la memoria [decir]: Carga de Jehová: porque la palabra de cada uno le será por carga; pues pervertisteis las palabras del Dios viviente, de Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios nuestro.
37 Así dirás al profeta: ¿Qué te respondió Jehová, y qué habló Jehová?
38 Mas si dijereis: Carga de Jehová: por eso Jehová dice así: Porque dijisteis esta palabra, Carga de Jehová, habiendo enviado á deciros: No digáis, Carga de Jehová:
39 Por tanto, he aquí que yo os echaré en olvido, y os arrancaré de mi presencia, y á la ciudad que os dí á vosotros y á vuestros padres;
40 Y pondré sobre vosotros afrenta perpetua, y eterna confusión que nunca borrará el olvido.
