Jeremiah 14:10-18

Jeremiah 14:10-18

[10] Thus saith  the LORD  unto this people,  Thus have they loved  to wander,  they have not refrained  their feet,  therefore the LORD  doth not accept  them; he will now remember  their iniquity,  and visit  their sins.  [11] Then said  the LORD  unto me, Pray  not for this people  for their good.  [12] When they fast,  I will not hear  their cry;  and when they offer  burnt offering  and an oblation,  I will not accept  them: but I will consume  them by the sword,  and by the famine,  and by the pestilence.  [13] Then said  I, Ah,  Lord  GOD!  behold, the prophets  say  unto them, Ye shall not see  the sword,  neither shall ye have famine;  but I will give  you assured  peace  in this place.  [14] Then the LORD  said  unto me, The prophets  prophesy  lies  in my name:  I sent  them not, neither have I commanded  them, neither spake  unto them: they prophesy  unto you a false  vision  and divination,  and a thing of nought,  and the deceit  of their heart.  [15] Therefore thus saith  the LORD  concerning the prophets  that prophesy  in my name,  and I sent  them not, yet they say,  Sword  and famine  shall not be in this land;  By sword  and famine  shall those prophets  be consumed.  [16] And the people  to whom they prophesy  shall be cast out  in the streets  of Jerusalem  because  of the famine  and the sword;  and they shall have none to bury  them,  them, their wives,  nor their sons,  nor their daughters:  for I will pour  their wickedness  [17] Therefore thou shalt say  this word  unto them; Let mine eyes  run down  with tears  night  and day,  and let them not cease:  for the virgin  daughter  of my people  is broken  with a great  breach,  with a very  grievous  blow.  [18] If I go forth  into the field,  then behold the slain  with the sword!  and if I enter  into the city,  then behold them that are sick  with famine!  yea, both the prophet  and the priest  go about  into a land  that they know  not.
