Jeremiah 14:13-16
False Prophets
13 But, “Ah, Lord (a)God!” I said, “Look, the prophets are telling them, ‘You (A)will not see the sword nor will you have famine, but I will give you (b)lasting (B)peace in this place.’”
14 Then the Lord said to me, “The (C)prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. (D)I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a (E)false vision, divination, futility and the deception of their own (c)minds.
15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who are prophesying in My name, although it was not I who sent them—yet they keep saying, ‘There will be no sword or famine in this land’—(F)by sword and famine those prophets shall (d)meet their end!
16 The people also to whom they are prophesying will be (G)thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and there will be no one to (H)bury them—neither them, nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters—for I will (I)pour out their own wickedness on them.
