Jeremiah 14:10-16
English Standard Version
10 Thus says the Lord concerning this people:
“They have loved to wander thus;
they have not restrained their feet;
(A)therefore the Lord does not accept them;
(B)now he will remember their iniquity
and punish their sins.”
11 The Lord said to me: (C)“Do not pray for the welfare of this people. 12 Though they fast, I will not hear their cry, (D)and though they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them (E)by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”
Lying Prophets
13 Then I said: “Ah, Lord God, behold, the prophets (F)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 (G)prophets are prophesying lies in my name. (H)I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, (I)worthless divination, and (J)the deceit of their own minds. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although (K)I did not send them, and who say, (L)‘Sword and famine shall not come upon this land’: (M)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, (N)with none to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their evil upon them.
