Jeremiah 23:36-39
Living Bible
36 But stop using this term, “God’s sad news.” For what is sad is you and your lying. You are twisting my words and inventing “messages from God” that I didn’t speak. 37 You may respectfully ask Jeremiah, “What is the Lord’s message? What has he said to you?” 38-39 But if you ask him about “today’s sad news from God,” when I have warned you not to mock like that, then I, the Lord God, will unburden myself of the burden[a] you are to me. I will cast you out of my presence, you and this city I gave to you and your fathers.

- Jeremiah 23:38 will unburden myself of the burden, literally, “the burden of the Lord,” or “the message of the Lord.” This is a Hebrew pun.
