9 Why should thou be as a speechless man as a mighty man that cannot save? Yet thou, O Lord, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; do not leave us.
10 Thus hath the Lord said unto this people, Thus have they loved to move, nor have they refrained their feet; therefore the Lord does not have them in his will; he will now remember their iniquity and visit their sins.
11 Then the Lord said unto 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 an oblation, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by sword and by famine and by pestilence.
13 Then I said, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you true peace in this place.
14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I did not send them, neither have I commanded them, neither did I speak unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision, divination, vanity, and the deceit of their heart.
15 Therefore thus hath the Lord said concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name which I did not send and that say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
