They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.
For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.
