“I will forget” (נשׁה) sounds like “lift” (נשׂא), from which comes “burden” (מַשָּׂא).

The context

38But if ‘the burden of YHWH’ you say, therefore thus says YHWH: Because you have said this word, ‘The burden of YHWH,’ when I sent to you, saying, ‘You shall not say, “The burden of YHWH,”’

39 · This verse (above)

40And I will bring upon you eternal reproach and eternal ignominy which will not be forgotten.”
