the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more] Because the word was grown into contempt and derision among them, God would have it no more used by them; but would have them speak in another phrase, with due reverence both to his messengers and to their message. So Hosea 2:16. every mans word shall be his burden] That which they mock and contemn, shall befall them. Or, this their mockerie shall bring burden enough upon them; they shall pay full dearly for it, Chap. 5. 14,-15.
