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.

Then the LORD {H3068} said {H559} unto me, The prophets {H5030} prophesy {H5012} lies {H8267} in my name {H8034}: I sent {H7971} them not, neither have I commanded {H6680} them, neither spake {H1696} unto them: they prophesy {H5012} unto you a false {H8267} vision {H2377} and divination {H7081}, and a thing of nought {H457}{H434}, and the deceit {H8649} of their heart {H3820}.

ADONAI replied, "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I didn't send them, order them or speak to them. They are prophesying false visions to you, worthless divinations, the delusions of their own minds.

“The prophets are prophesying lies in My name,” replied the LORD. “I did not send them or appoint them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a false vision, a worthless divination, the futility and delusion of their own minds.

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