Jer Jeremiah, chapter Book of Jeremiah, chapter 23
So when a prophet or priest or anyone else comes and asks you, “What is ‘the burden of the Lord?’”23:33. “The burden of the Lord” in the sense of some requirement that the Lord is imposing on the people. Clearly the people saw the various laws and regulations as “burdens” and related to the Lord as this legalistic “burden-giver.” Though they lived evil lives it seems they thought that if they observed such “burdens,” including new ones, then the Lord would be satisfied. tell them, I'm not giving you a burden. I'm giving up on you, declares the Lord.Ezk 12:9
