Jeremiah says you must not declare "this is the oracle of the lord," or you will be punished. What do you think of my interpretation?

Jeremiah says you must not say “this is the oracle of the Lord,” when you share the bible with others because what each man says becomes his own oracle.

I will give you an example of this:

Jesus says you are the salt on our earth.

In the bible, salt might represent knowledge absorption, it might represent community inclusion. It might represent departure from old thoughts. It might represent humbleness. It might represent a lowly mindset. It represent exposure. It might represent concern. It might represent fear. And it might represent secrecy and shame.

If one person says that salt can only represent humbleness and another person says that salt can only represent community inclusion and another person says that salt can only represent knowledge absorption

… the three Christians would be holding unnecessary confrontations and hostility towards each other over what the bible says and the bible says your religion should be used to endorse love and not hate towards others.

… The bible says, no human being has an exclusive monopoly on bible truth and no human being retains the exclusive right to interpret or exclude interpretations that others have made in derogatory or rude way.
