10 This is what the Lord says concerning these people:

Truly they love to wander;(A)
they never rest their feet.
So the Lord does not accept them.
Now He will remember their guilt
and punish their sins.(B)

False Prophets to be Punished

11 Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray for the well-being of these people.(C) 12 If they fast, I will not hear their cry of despair. If they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. Rather, I will finish them off by sword, famine, and plague.”(D)

“They have loved so much to wander,
    they have not spared their feet.
Therefore Yahweh is not favorable to them,
    now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins.”

Lying Prophets

11 So Yahweh said to me, “You must not pray for this people, for their happiness.[a] 12 Although they fast, I am not listening to their cry of entreaty. And although they present burnt offering and grain offering, I am not favorable to them. But by the sword, and by the famine, and by the plague, I am about to destroy them.”
