Jeremiah 14:13-16

False Prophets

13 But I said, “Oh, Lord ^{▼▼Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord}God! Behold, the prophets are telling them, ‘You ^bwill not see a sword, nor will you have famine; on the contrary, I will give you lasting ^cpeace in this place.’” 14 Then the Lord said to me, “The ^dprophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. ^eI have neither sent them nor commanded them, nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a ^ffalse vision, divination, futility, and the deception of their own ^{▼▼Lit heart}minds. 15 Therefore this is what the Lord says 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’-- ^hby sword and famine those prophets shall meet their end! 16 And the people to whom they are prophesying will be ⁱthrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and there will be no one to ^jbury them--neither them, nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters. For I will ^kpour out their own wickedness upon them.
