Jeremiah 14:14 - 14:18

« Jer 13 | Jer 14 | Jer 15 »

14 Then Yahweh said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in My name. I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a vision of lies, divination, futility, and the deception of their own hearts. 15 Therefore thus says Yahweh 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’—by that sword and famine those prophets shall meet their end! 16 The people also to whom they are prophesying will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and there will be no one to bury them—neither them, nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters—for I will pour out their own evil on them. 17

And you will say this word to them,

‘Let my eyes flow down with tears night and day,

And let them not cease,

For the virgin daughter of my people has been shattered with a mighty shattering,

With a sorely sick wound.

If I go out to the field,

Behold, those slain with the sword!

Or if I enter the city,

Behold, diseases of famine!

For both prophet and priest

Have gone around as merchants in the land that they do not know.’”
