God Responds to the Prophet

10 This is what the Lord says to these people:
    “Yes, they do love to wander,
        and they haven’t restrained their feet.
So the Lord won’t accept them now.
    He will remember their iniquity
        and punish their sin.”

11 Then the Lord told me, “Don’t pray for the welfare of these people. 12 Although they fast, I won’t listen to their cry, and although they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I won’t accept them. Instead, I’ll put an end to them with the sword, with famine, and with a plague.”

10 Thus says Yahweh concerning this people:

“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.”
