Jeremiah 14:13-16

Ah, Lord God! Behold the prophets, &c. See note on Jeremiah 4:10. Thus saith the Lord And what he saith he will assuredly make good; By the sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed They shall fall first by those very judgments, with the hopes of an exemption from which they have flattered others. And the people shall be cast out in the streets, &c. The people contributed to their own delusions, and readily hearkened to such false prophets as confirmed them in their evil ways: God therefore justly threatens to punish them, because they were unwilling to know the truth.
