← Jeremiah 14:11	Jeremiah 14:12 (KJV)	Jeremiah 14:13 →
Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for [their] good.	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.	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.
