Jeremiah 14:13-16

Lying Prophets

13Then I said: “Ah, Lord God, behold, the prophets asay to them, ‘You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.’” 14And the Lord said to me: “The bprophets are prophesying lies in my name. cI did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, dworthless divination, and ethe deceit of their own minds. 15Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although fI did not send them, and who say, gSword and famine shall not come upon this land’: hBy sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed. 16And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword, iwith none to bury themthem, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their evil upon them.
