Jeremiah 14:12-16

English Standard Version

¹² Though they fast, I will not hear their cry, ^(A)and though they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them ^(B)by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”

Lying Prophets

¹³ Then I said: “Ah, Lord God, behold, the prophets ^(C)say to them, ‘You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.’” ¹⁴ And the Lord said to me: “The ^(D)prophets are prophesying lies in my name. ^(E)I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, ^(F)worthless divination, and ^(G)the deceit of their own minds. ¹⁵ Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although ^(H)I did not send them, and who say, ^(I)‘Sword and famine shall not come upon this land’: ^(J)By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed. ¹⁶ And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword, ^(K)with none to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their evil upon them.
