Lying Prophets

13 Then I said: "Ah, Lord GOD, behold, the prophets ¹say to them, 'You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.'"

14 And the LORD said to me: "The ²prophets are prophesying lies in my name. ³I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, ⁴worthless divination, and ⁵the deceit of their own minds.

15 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although ⁶I did not send them, and who say, ⁷'Sword and famine shall not come upon this land': ⁸By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed.

16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword, ⁹with none to bury them--them, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their evil upon them.

17 "You shall say to them this word: ¹⁰'Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease, for the virgin ¹¹daughter of my people is shattered with a great wound, ¹²with a very grievous blow.

18 ¹³If I go out into the field, behold, those pierced by the sword! ¹⁴And if I enter the city, behold, the diseases of famine! ¹⁵For both prophet and priest ply their trade through the land and have no knowledge.'"

19 ¹⁶Have you utterly rejected Judah? Does your soul loathe Zion? Why have you struck us down ¹⁷so that there is no healing for us? ¹⁸We looked for peace, but no good came; ¹⁹for a time of healing, but behold, terror.

20 ²⁰We acknowledge our wickedness, O LORD, and the iniquity of our fathers, ²¹for we have sinned against you.

21 Do not spurn us, ²²for your name's sake; do not dishonor your glorious throne; ²³remember and do not break your covenant with us.

22 Are there any among ²⁴the false gods of the nations ²⁵that can bring rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Are you not he, O LORD our God? We set our hope on you, ²⁶for you do all these things.
