Jeremiah 23:35 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 23:35

Thus shall ye say everyone to his neighbour, and everyone
to his brother
When conferring about religious things, and the word of God in particular; when any inquiry is made of another, whether any message from the Lord by his prophets? or what is it? that it should not be put in such deriding and calumniating words, "what is the burden of the Lord?" but in more decent and becoming language, thus, what hath the Lord answered? and what hath the Lord spoken?
they might lawfully and laudably inquire of the prophet what answer he had received from the Lord, and what it was that he had said to him, provided they were serious in it, and asked with meekness and fear: the word of God should be reverently spoken of, and attended to.

Jeremiah 23:35 In-Context

33 When these people or a prophet or a priest asks you, "What is the LORD's message?" say to them, "What message? I will cast you off, declares the LORD."

34 I will punish anyone, including prophet or priest, who says, "This is the LORD's message."

35 This is what you should ask each other: "What has the LORD said?""What has the LORD declared?"

36 But you are no longer to mention the LORD's message, because everyone thinks they have received a message from the LORD. You destroy the very word of the living God, the LORD of heavenly forces, our God.

37 So this is what you should say to the prophet: "What has the LORD said to you?""What has the LORD declared?"
