In context

36But refer no more to the burden of the LORD, for each man’s word becomes the burden, so that you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of Hosts, our God.

37Thus you are to say to the prophet: ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ and ‘What has the LORD spoken?’

38But if you claim, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ then this is what the LORD says: Because you have said, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ and I specifically told you not to make this claim,

39Therefore I will surely forget you and will cast you out of My presence, both you and the city that I gave to you and your fathers.

40And I will bring upon you everlasting shame and perpetual humiliation that will never be forgotten.”
