12 They have spoken falsely of the Lord
    and have said, ‘He will do nothing;
(A)no disaster will come upon us,
    (B)nor shall we see sword or famine.
13 The prophets will become wind;
    the word is not in them.
Thus shall it be done to them!’”

for the Lord’s word is not in them.
This will in fact happen to them.
