Jeremiah 14:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry, and when they offer burnt offering, and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
13 Then answered I, Ah Lord God, behold, the [a]prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall famine come upon you, but I will give you assured peace in this place.
14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: (A)I have not sent them, neither did I command them, neither spake I unto them, but they prophesy unto you a false vision, and divination, and vanity, and deceitfulness of their own heart.
