24:014:007 O lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it
           for thy name’s sake:  for our backslidings are many; we have
           sinned against thee.

24:014:008 O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble,
           why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a
           wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?

24:014:009 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that
           cannot save? yet thou, O lord, art in the midst of us, and we
           are called by thy name; leave us not.

24:014:010 Thus saith the lord unto this people, Thus have they loved to
           wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the lord
           doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and
           visit their sins.

24:014:011 Then said the lord unto me, Pray not for this people for their
           good.

24:014:012 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer
           burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them:  but I
           will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the
           pestilence.

24:014:013 Then said I, Ah, Lord god! behold, the prophets say unto them,
           Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but
           I will give you assured peace in this place.

24:014:014 Then the lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my
           name:  I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither
           spake unto them:  they prophesy unto you a false vision and
           divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their
           heart.

24:014:015 Therefore thus saith the lord concerning the prophets that
           prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword
           and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine
           shall those prophets be consumed.

24:014:016 And 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 upon them.

24:014:017 Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine 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 blow.

24:014:018 If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the
           sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are
           sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go
           about into a land that they know not.
