THE MESSAGE
"Instead of claiming to know what God says, ask questions of one another, such as ‘How do we understand God in this?' But don't go around pretending to know it all, saying ‘God told me this... God told me that....' I don't want to hear it anymore. Only the person I authorize speaks for me. Otherwise, my Message gets twisted, the Message of the living God -of-the-Angel-Armies.

Contextual Overview
33 "Suppose the people of Judah, a prophet, or a priest asks you: ‘Jeremiah, what is the message from the Lord ?' You will answer them and say, ‘You are a heavy load to the Lord , and I will throw you down, says the Lord .' 34 A prophet or a priest or one of the people might say, ‘This is a message from the Lord .' That person has lied, so I will punish him and his whole family. 35 This is what you will say to each other: ‘What did the Lord answer?' or ‘What did the Lord say?' 36 But you will never again say, ‘The message of the Lord ,' because the only message you speak is your own words. You have changed the words of our God, the living God, the Lord All-Powerful. 37 This is how you should speak to the prophets: ‘What answer did the Lord give you?' or ‘What did the Lord say?' 38 But don't say, ‘The message from the Lord .' If you use these words, this is what the Lord says: Because you called it a ‘message from the Lord ,' though I told you not to use those words, 39 I will pick you up and throw you away from me, along with Jerusalem, which I gave to your ancestors and to you. 40 And I will make a disgrace of you forever; your shame will never be forgotten."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus shall ye say everyone to his neighbour, and everyone to his brother,.... When conferring about religious things, and the word of God in particular; when any inquiry is made of another, whether any message from the Lord by his prophets? or what is it? that it should not be put in such deriding and calumniating words, "what is the burden of the Lord?" but in more decent and becoming language, thus,
what hath the Lord answered? and what hath the Lord spoken? they might lawfully and laudably inquire of the prophet what answer he had received from the Lord, and what it was that he had said to him, provided they were serious in it, and asked with meekness and fear: the word of God should be reverently spoken of, and attended to.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The proper words for prophecy. It is to be called an answer when the people have come to inquire of Yahweh: but His word when it is sent unasked.
