The Divine Answer

14 Then Jehovah said to me: The prophets are but preaching lies in My name. I never sent them; they have no commission from Me; not a word have I spoken to them. What thy preach to you is nothing but a tissue of lying visions and idle divinations and inventions of their own deceitful hearts. 15 This therefore is the message of Jehovah concerning those prophets who, without any commission from Me, are ceaselessly preaching that this land will never suffer from sword or famine: by sword and famine shall those very prophets themselves be consumed, 16 and the people they preach to shall be flung out in the streets of Jerusalem as victims of sword and famine, and they shall lie unburied – themselves, their wives, their sons, their daughters; for I will pour their wickedness over them.
