Jeremiah 14:11-16

Jeremiah 14:11-16 NCV

Then the LORD said, “Don’t pray for good things to happen to the people of Judah. Even if they fast, I will not listen to their prayers. Even if they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings to me, I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy the people of Judah with war, hunger, and terrible diseases.” But I said, “Oh, Lord GOD, the prophets keep telling the people, ‘You will not suffer from an enemy’s sword or from hunger. I, the LORD, will give you peace in this land.’ ” Then the LORD said to me, “Those prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them or appoint them or speak to them. They have been prophesying false visions, idolatries, worthless magic, and their own wishful thinking. So this is what I say about the prophets who are prophesying in my name. I did not send them. They say, ‘No enemy will attack this country with swords. There will never be hunger in this land.’ So those prophets will die from hunger and from an enemy’s sword. And the people to whom the prophets speak will be thrown into the streets of Jerusalem. There they will die from hunger and from an enemy’s sword. And no one will be there to bury them, or their wives, or their sons, or their daughters. I will punish them.
