English Standard Version
Lying Prophets
13 Then I said: “Ah, Lord God, behold, the prophets (A)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 (B)prophets are prophesying lies in my name. (C)I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, (D)worthless divination, and (E)the deceit of their own minds. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although (F)I did not send them, and who say, (G)‘Sword and famine shall not come upon this land’: (H)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, (I)with none to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their evil upon them.
17 “You shall say to them this word:
(J)‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day,
and let them not cease,
for the virgin (K)daughter of my people is shattered with a great wound,
(L)with a very grievous blow.

English Standard Version
14 Again, (A)though I say to the wicked, (B)‘You shall surely die,’ yet (C)if he turns from his sin and does what is just and right, 15 if the wicked (D)restores the pledge, (E)gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks (F)in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 16 (G)None of the sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him.
