Jeremiah 14:14-17
New King James Version
14 And the Lord said to me, (A)“The prophets prophesy lies in My name. (B)I have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision, [a]divination, a worthless thing, and the (C)deceit of their heart. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, whom I did not send, (D)and who say, ‘Sword and famine shall not be in this land’—‘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 because of the famine and the sword; (E)they will have no one to bury them—them nor their wives, their sons nor their daughters—for I will pour their wickedness on them.’
17 “Therefore you shall say this word to them:
(F)‘Let my eyes flow with tears night and day,
And let them not cease;
(G)For the virgin daughter of my people
Has been broken with a mighty stroke, with a very severe blow.
