15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, whom I did not send, aand who say, ‘Sword and famine shall not be in this land’—‘By 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 because of the famine and the sword; athey will have no one to bury them—them nor their wives, their sons nor their daughters—for I will pour their wickedness on them.’
17 “Therefore you shall say this word to them:
a‘Let my eyes flow with tears night and day,
And let them not cease;
bFor the virgin daughter of my people
Has been broken with a mighty stroke, with a very severe blow.
a‘Let my eyes flow with tears night and day,
And let them not cease;
bFor the virgin daughter of my people
Has been broken with a mighty stroke, with a very severe blow.
18 If I go out to athe field,
Then behold, those slain with the sword!
And if I enter the city,
Then behold, those sick from famine!
Yes, both prophet and bpriest go about in a land they do not know.’ ”
Then behold, those slain with the sword!
And if I enter the city,
Then behold, those sick from famine!
Yes, both prophet and bpriest go about in a land they do not know.’ ”
The People Plead for Mercy
19 aHave You utterly rejected Judah?
Has Your soul loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that bthere is no healing for us?
cWe looked for peace, but there was no good;
And for the time of healing, and there was trouble.
Has Your soul loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that bthere is no healing for us?
cWe looked for peace, but there was no good;
And for the time of healing, and there was trouble.
