Jeremiah 14:14-18
Christian Standard Bible
14 But the Lord said to me, “These prophets are prophesying a lie in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a false vision, worthless divination, the deceit(A) of their own minds.(B)
15 “Therefore, this is what the Lord says concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, though I did not send them, and who say, ‘There will never be sword or famine in this land.’ By sword and famine these prophets will meet their end. 16 The people they are prophesying to will be thrown into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword. There will be no one to bury them(C)—they, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. I will pour out their own evil on them.”
Jeremiah’s Request
17 You are to speak this word to them:
Let my eyes overflow with tears;
day and night may they not stop,(D)
for my dearest people[a]
have been destroyed by a crushing blow,(E)
an extremely severe wound.(F)
18 If I go out to the field,
look—those slain by the sword!
If I enter the city,
look—those ill(G) from famine!
For both prophet and priest
travel to a land they do not know.

day and night may they not stop,(C)
for the virgin daughter of my people
has been destroyed by a great disaster,(D)
an extremely severe wound.(E)
