Jeremiah 14:10-16

10ThusH3541 saith Jehovah unto this peopleH5971, Even soH3651 have they lovedH157 to wanderH5128; they have not refrained their feetH7272: thereforeH3651 Jehovah doth not acceptH7521 them; nowH6258 will he rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771, and visitH6485 their sinsH2403. 11And Jehovah saidH559 unto me, PrayH6419 not for this peopleH5971 for their goodH2896. 12When they fastH6684, I will not hearH8085 their cryH7440; and when they offerH5927 burnt-offering and meal-offering, I will not acceptH7521 them; but I will consume them by the swordH2719, and by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698.

13Then saidH559 I, Ah, LordH136 Jehovah! behold, the prophetsH5030 sayH559 unto them, Ye shall not seeH7200 the swordH2719, neither shall ye have famineH7458; but I will giveH5414 you assured peaceH7965 in this placeH4725. 14Then Jehovah saidH559 unto me, The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 liesH8267 in my nameH8034; I sentH7971 them not, neither have I commandedH6680 them, neither spake I unto them: they prophesyH5012 unto you a lyingH8267 visionH2377, and divinationH7081, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their own heartH3820. 15ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah concerning the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 in my nameH8034, and I sentH7971 them not, yet they sayH559, SwordH2719 and famineH7458 shall not beH1961 in this landH776: By swordH2719 and famineH7458 shall those prophetsH5030 beH1961 consumed. 16And the peopleH5971 to whom they prophesyH5012 shall beH1961 castH7993 out in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389 because of the famineH7458 and the swordH2719; and they shall have none to buryH6912 them—them, their wivesH802, nor their sonsH1121, nor their daughtersH1323: for I will pourH8210 their wickednessH7451 upon them.
