Jeremiah 14:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 14:13

11 Then the Lord said to me, ^a“Do not pray for this people, for their good.

12 ^aWhen they fast, I will not hear their cry; and ^bwhen they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But ^cI will consume them by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.”

13 ^aThen 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 you¹ assured ^bpeace in this place.’ ”

14 And the Lord said to me, ^a“The prophets prophesy lies in My name. ^bI have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision,¹ divination, a worthless thing, and the ^cdeceit of their heart.

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.’
