Jeremiah 14 (NKJV)

¹ The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the droughts. ² And the cry of Jerusalem has gone up. ³ And covered their heads. ⁴ They covered their heads. ⁵ But left because there was no grass. ⁶ Their eyes failed because there was no grass.” ⁷ We have sinned against You. ⁸ And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night? ⁹ Do not leave us! ¹⁰ And punish their sins.” ¹¹ Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray for this people, for their good. ¹² When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.” ¹³ 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.’ ” ¹⁴ 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. ¹⁵ 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! ¹⁶ 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.’ ¹⁷ Has been broken with a mighty stroke, with a very severe blow. ¹⁸ Yes, both prophet and priest go about in a land they do not know.’ ” ¹⁹ And for the time of healing, and there was trouble. ²⁰ For we have sinned against You. ²¹ Remember, do not break Your covenant with us. ²² Since You have made all these.
