You shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine;
but I will give you assured peace in this place.
014:014 Then Yahweh said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name;
I didn't send them, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke
I to them: they prophesy to you a lying vision, and divination,
and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.
014:015 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets
who prophesy in my name, and I didn't send them,
yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land:
By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
014:016 The people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the
streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword;
and they shall have none to bury them--them, their wives,
nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their
wickedness on them.
014:017 You shall say this word to them, Let my eyes run down with
tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin
daughter of my people is broken with a great breach,
with a very grievous wound.
014:018 If I go forth into the field, then, behold, the slain with
the sword! and if I enter into the city, then, behold, those who
are sick with famine! for both the prophet and the priest go
about in the land, and have no knowledge.
014:019 Have you utterly rejected Judah? has your soul loathed Zion?
why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us?
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing,
and behold, dismay!
014:020 We acknowledge, Yahweh, our wickedness, and the iniquity
of our fathers; for we have sinned against you.
014:021 Do not abhor [us], for your name's sake; do not disgrace the throne
of your glory: remember, don't break your covenant with us.
014:022 Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can
cause rain? or can the sky give showers? Aren't you he,
Yahweh our God? therefore we will wait for you; for you
have made all these things.
015:001 Then said Yahweh to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood
before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people:
cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
015:002 It shall happen, when they tell you, Where shall we go
forth? then you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh: Such as
are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword,
to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine;
and such as are for captivity, to captivity.
015:003 I will appoint over them four kinds, says Yahweh:
the sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the sky,
and the animals of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
015:004 I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms
