The burden of the LORD

THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET JEREMIAH.

 JEREMIAH CHAPTER 23:36-40

36 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.

37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet,
What hath the LORD answered thee? and,
What hath the LORD spoken?
38 But since ye say, The burden of the
LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD;
Because ye say this word, The burden of
the LORD, and I have sent unto you,
saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of
the LORD;
39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly
forget you, and I will forsake you, and the
city that I gave you and your fathers, and
cast you out of my presence:
40 And I will bring an everlasting
reproach upon you, and a perpetual
shame, which shall not be forgotten.

ISAIAH CHAPTER 30:1-3

CHAPTER 30
WOE to the rebellious children, saith the
LORD, that take counsel, but not of me;
and that cover with a covering, but not of
my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and
have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen
themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and
to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh
be your shame, and the trust in the shadow
of Egypt your confusion.

JEREMIAH CHAPTER 23:29-31

29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the
LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh
the rock in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the
prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my
words every one from his neighbour.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith
the LORD, that use their tongues, and say,
He saith.

REVELATION CHAPTER 22:18,19

18 For I testify unto every man that
heareth the words of the prophecy of this
book, If any man shall add unto these
things, God shall add unto him the plagues
that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from
the words of the book of this prophecy,
God shall take away his part out of the
book of life, and out of the holy city, and
from the things which are written in this
book.

JEREMIAH CHAPTER 23 LINES 28-32

28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him
tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let
him speak my word faithfully. What is the
chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the
LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh
the rock in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the
prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my
words every one from his neighbour.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith
the LORD, that use their tongues, and say,
He saith.
32 Behold, I am against them that
prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD,
and do tell them, and cause my people to
err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet
I sent them not, nor commanded them:
therefore they shall not profit this people
at all, saith the LORD.

Let the wicked forsake his way

THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET ISAIAH.

ISAIAH CHAPTER 55:7-9

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he
will abundantly pardon.
8 ¶ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,
saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

ISAIAH CHAPTER 55:

6 ¶ Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he
will abundantly pardon.
8 ¶ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,
saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
