Every man's word shall be his burden— "Every one of you shall feel the weight of my vengeance, for the insolent discourse which you have pronounced. Your discourse shall be your burden, and the cause of your chastisements." Houbigant understands these verses somewhat differently; he renders the 35th verse thus: Nor shall a man any more say to his neighbour, or to his brother, What hath the Lord answered, or what is his word? Jeremiah 23:36. Nor shall ye mention any more the burden of the Lord; since every man's word shall be his burden: nor shall ye any more prevent the words of the living God, &c.
