What does Jeremiah 23:36 mean?

But you must never again say, 'The Lord's burden,' because that's how you've twisted my words. Each person's own words will be their burden. You keep twisting the words of the living God, the Lord Almighty, our God. Jeremiah 23:36 - Modern Text Bible

(God says the people have abused his words so much that their own words will turn against them. He's calling out their disrespect and distortion of his message.)
