*
Then I said , "
Ah ,
Lord GOD !
Behold ,
the prophets say to them , "
You shall not see the sword ,
nor shall you have famine ,
but I will give you assured peace in this place ."'
*
And the LORD said to me , "
The prophets prophesy lies in My name .
I have not sent them ,
commanded them ,
nor spoken to them ;
they prophesy to you a false vision ,
divination ,
a worthless thing ,
and the deceit of their heart .
*
Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name ,
whom I did not send ,
and who say , "
Sword and famine shall not be in this land '--"
By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed !
*
And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword ;
they will have no one to bury them--them nor their wives ,
their sons nor their daughters--for I will pour their wickedness on them .'
* "
Therefore you shall say this word to them : "
Let my eyes flow with tears night and day ,
And let them not cease ;
For the virgin daughter of my people Has been broken with a mighty stroke ,
with a very severe blow .
*
If I go out to the field ,
Then behold ,
those slain with the sword !
And if I enter the city ,
Then behold ,
those sick from famine !
Yes ,
both prophet and priest go about in a land they do not know ."'
