Jeremiah 14:13-15
New American Standard Bible 1995
False Prophets
13 But, “Ah, Lord [a]God!” I said, “Look, the prophets are telling them, ‘You (A)will not see the sword nor will you have famine, but I will give you [b]lasting (B)peace in this place.’” 14 Then the Lord said to me, “The (C)prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. (D)I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a (E)false vision, divination, futility and the deception of their own [c]minds. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who are prophesying in My name, although it was not I who sent them—yet they keep saying, ‘There will be no sword or famine in this land’—(F)by sword and famine those prophets shall [d]meet their end!

Jeremiah 14:13-15
New International Version
13 But I said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord! The prophets(A) keep telling them, ‘You will not see the sword or suffer famine.(B) Indeed, I will give you lasting peace(C) in this place.’”
14 Then the Lord said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies(D) in my name. I have not sent(E) them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions,(F) divinations,(G) idolatries[a] and the delusions of their own minds. 15 Therefore this is what the Lord says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’ Those same prophets will perish(H) by sword and famine.(I)
