Jeremiah 14:10-18

10This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559 about thisH2088 peopleH5971:

“TrulyH3651 they loveH157 to wanderH5128;they have notH3808 restrainedH2820 their feetH7272.So the LORDH3068 does notH3808 accept themH7521;He will nowH6258 rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771and punish themH6485 for their sinsH2403.”

11Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 to meH413, “Do notH408 prayH6419 forH1157 the well-beingH2896 of thisH2088 peopleH5971. 12AlthoughH3588 they may fastH6684, I will notH369 listen toH8085 H413 their cryH7440; althoughH3588 they may offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and grain offeringsH4503, I will notH369 accept themH7521. InsteadH3588, IH595 will finish them offH3615 by swordH2719 and famineH7458 and plagueH1698.”

13“AhH162, LordH136 GODH3069!” I repliedH559, “LookH2009, the prophetsH5030 are tellingH559 them, ‘You will notH3808 seeH7200 the swordH2719 or sufferH1961 famineH7458 H3808, butH3588 I will giveH5414 you lastingH571 peaceH7965 in thisH2088 placeH4725.’”

14“The prophetsH5030 are prophesyingH5012 liesH8267 in My nameH8034,” repliedH559 the LORDH3068 . “I did notH3808 send themH7971 or appoint themH6680 or speakH1696 to themH413. TheyH1992 are prophesyingH5012 to you a falseH8267 visionH2377, a worthless divinationH7081, the futilityH434 and delusionH8649 of their own mindsH3820.

15ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559 aboutH5921 the prophetsH5030 who prophesyH5012 in My nameH8034: IH589 did notH3808 send themH7971, yet theyH1992 sayH559, ‘NoH3808 swordH2719 or famineH7458 will touchH1961 thisH2063 landH776.’

By swordH2719 and famineH7458 these veryH1992 prophetsH5030 will meet their endH8552! 16And the peopleH5971 to whomH834 theyH1992 prophesyH5012 will beH1961 thrownH7993 into the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389 because ofH6440 famineH7458 and swordH2719. There will be noH369 one to buryH6912 them or theirH1992 wivesH802, their sonsH1121 or their daughtersH1323. I will pour outH8210 their own evilH7451 upon themH5921 .

17You are to speakH559 thisH2088 wordH1697 to themH413 :

‘My eyesH5869 overflowH3381 with tearsH1832;dayH3119 and nightH3915 they do notH408 ceaseH1820,forH3588 the virginH1330 daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971has been shatteredH7667 by a crushingH1419 blowH7665,a severelyH3966 grievousH2470 woundH4347.18IfH518 I go outH3318 to the countryH7704,I seeH2009 those slainH2491 by the swordH2719;ifH518 I enterH935 the cityH5892,I seeH2009 those ravagedH8463 by famineH7458!ForH3588 bothH1571 prophetH5030 andH1571 priestH3548travelH5503 toH413 a landH776 they do notH3808 knowH3045.’”
