## Jeremiah 14:10-16 in Context (Verses 7–19 KJV)
 
 [7 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/7) ¶ 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.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/8) 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?
 
 [9 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/9) 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.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/10) ¶ 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.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/11) Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for *their* good.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/12) 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.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/13) ¶ 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.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/14) 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.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/15) 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.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/16) 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.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/17) ¶ 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.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/18) 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.*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/19) Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and *there is* no healing for us? we looked for peace, and *there is* no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!
