What to answer when one asks, “What is the message from the LORD?”
여호와의 엄중한 말씀이 무엇이냐고 묻거든 대답할 말
Jeremiah 23:33–40: the text says, “When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, asks you, saying, ‘What is the message from the LORD?’ Then you shall tell them, ‘“What message? I will cast you off,” says the LORD.’ As for the prophet, the priest, and the people, who say, ‘The message from the LORD,’ I will even punish that man and his household. You will say everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to his brother, ‘What has the LORD answered?’ and, ‘What has the LORD said?’ You will mention the message from the LORD no more, for every man’s own word has become his message; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of Armies, our God. You will say to the prophet, ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ and, ‘What has the LORD spoken?’ Although you say, ‘The message from the LORD,’ therefore the LORD says: ‘Because you say this word, “The message from the LORD,” and I have sent to you, telling you not to say, “The message from the LORD,” therefore behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off with the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence. I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a perpetual shame, which will not be forgotten.’” The Korean Revised Version reads 여호와의 엄중한 말씀 (the stern word of the LORD), where WEB reads “the message from the LORD”, and 23:39 이 성읍을 내 앞에서 내어버려 (cast this city away from before me), where WEB reads “I will cast you off with the city … away from my presence”.
