Jeremiah 14:10-18

10Thus says the Lord to this people, “Even so they have 1loved to wander; they have not 2kept their feet in check. Therefore the Lord does 3not accept them; now He will 4remember their iniquity and call their sins to account.” 11So the Lord said to me, “5Do not pray for the welfare of this people. 12When they fast, I am 6not going to listen to their cry; and when they offer 7burnt offering and grain offering, I am not going to accept them. Rather I am going to 8make an end of them by the 9sword, famine and pestilence.”

13But, “Ah, Lord 10God!” I said, “Look, the prophets are telling them, ‘You 11will not see the sword nor will you have famine, but I will give you 12lasting 13peace in this place.’” 14Then the Lord said to me, “The 14prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. 15I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a 16false vision, divination, futility and the deception of their own 17minds. 15Therefore 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’--18by sword and famine those prophets shall 19meet their end! 16The people also to whom they are prophesying will be 20thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and there will be no one to 21bury them--neither them, nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters--for I will 22pour out their own wickedness on them.17You will say this word to them, ‘23Let my eyes flow down with tears night and day, And let them not cease; For the virgin 24daughter of my people has been crushed with a mighty blow, With a sorely 25infected wound.18If I 26go out to the country, Behold, those 27slain with the sword! Or if I enter the city, Behold, diseases of famine! For 28both prophet and priest Have 29gone roving about in the land that they do not know.’”
