Jeremias 23:38 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 23:38

But since ye say, the burden of the Lord
Seeing, notwithstanding all prohibitions of it, and directions to the contrary, they still persisted to call prophecy by this name, and that in a jocose and bantering way, and asked for it, and what it was, in a scoffing manner: therefore thus saith the Lord, because you say this word, the burden
of the Lord;
will continue to use it, though so displeasing to me: and I have sent unto you, saying, ye shall not say, the burden of the
Lord;
and therefore could not plead ignorance of his will, or excuse themselves, by saying they would have avoided it, had they known it was disagreeable to him: this was an aggravation of their impiety, that they should obstinately persist in it, after he had remonstrated against it by his messages to them.

Jeremias 23:38 In-Context

36 Nunca mais mencionem a expressĂŁo ‘Esta Ă© a mensagem da qual o SENHOR me encarregou’, senĂŁo essa palavra se tornarĂĄ uma ‘carga’ para aquele que a proferir; porque vocĂȘs distorcem as palavras do Deus vivo, do SENHOR dos ExĂ©rcitos, do nosso Deus.
37 É assim que vocĂȘs dirĂŁo ao profeta: ‘Qual Ă© a resposta do SENHOR para vocĂȘ?’ ou ‘O que o SENHOR falou?’
38 Mas, se vocĂȘs disserem: ‘Esta Ă© a mensagem da qual o SENHOR me encarregou’,” assim diz o SENHOR: “VocĂȘs dizem: ‘Esta Ă© a mensagem da qual o SENHOR me encarregou’, quando eu os adverti de que nĂŁo dissessem isso.
39 Por isso eu me esquecerei de vocĂȘs e os lançarei fora da minha presença, juntamente com a cidade que dei a vocĂȘs e aos seus antepassados.
40 Trarei sobre vocĂȘs humilhação perpĂ©tua, vergonha permanente, que jamais serĂĄ esquecida”.
