21:27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He slept in sackcloth and walked around dejected. 21:28 The Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, 7 21:29 “Have you noticed how Ahab shows remorse 8 before me? Because he shows remorse before me, I will not bring disaster on his dynasty during his lifetime, but during the reign of his son.” 9
13:1 10 This is a message about Babylon that God revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz: 11
23:33 The Lord said to me, “Jeremiah, 12 when one of these people, or a prophet, or a priest asks you, ‘What burdensome message 13 do you have from the Lord?’ Tell them, ‘You are the burden, 14 and I will cast you away. 15 I, the Lord, affirm it! 16 23:34 I will punish any prophet, priest, or other person who says “The Lord’s message is burdensome.” 17 I will punish both that person and his whole family.’” 18
23:35 So I, Jeremiah, tell you, 19 “Each of you people should say to his friend or his relative, ‘How did the Lord answer? Or what did the Lord say?’ 20 23:36 You must no longer say that the Lord’s message is burdensome. 21 For what is ‘burdensome’ 22 really pertains to what a person himself says. 23 You are misrepresenting 24 the words of our God, the living God, the Lord who rules over all. 25 23:37 Each of you should merely ask the prophet, ‘What answer did the Lord give you? Or what did the Lord say?’ 26 23:38 But just suppose you continue to say, ‘The message of the Lord is burdensome.’ Here is what the Lord says will happen: ‘I sent word to you that you must not say, “The Lord’s message is burdensome.” But you used the words “The Lord’s message is burdensome” anyway.
