- Jeremiah 14:19-22 = The People Plead for Mercy
Verse 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.[5]
relying on their own reason instead of "divine commission."[6]
- "A worthless thing" (from Hebrew: אליל or אלול ’ĕ-lîl or ’ĕ-lūl; KJV: “a thing of nought”): collectivey "kingdoms of idolatrous worthlessness" worshipped in the time of Isaiah (Isaiah 2:8; Isaiah 10:11; Isaiah 19:1,3 (of Egypt); Isaiah 31:7).[7]
Verse 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![8]
Verse 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.’[9]
