Jeremiah 14:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ But I said, “Oh, Lord God, the prophets keep telling the people, ‘·You will not suffer from an enemy’s [^LDo not fear] sword or from ·hunger [famine]. I, the Lord, will give you ·lasting [reliable; true] peace in this land.’”

¹⁴ Then the Lord said to me, “Those prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them or ·appoint [command] them or speak to them. They have been prophesying false visions, idolatries, worthless ·magic [divination], and ·their own wishful thinking [^Lthe deceit of their hearts; Deut. 13:1–5; 18:14–22]. ¹⁵ 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 [^LSword and famine will not be] in this land.’ So those prophets will ·die from [^Lbe finished off by] ·hunger [famine] and from ·an enemy’s sword [^Lsword].
