Jeremiah 14:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ Then the Lord said this to me: “Don’t pray for good things to happen to the people of Judah. ¹² Even if they give up eating, I will not listen to their prayers. Even if they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings to me, I will not accept them. I will destroy the people of Judah with war, hunger and terrible diseases.”

¹³ But I said, “Oh! Lord God, the false prophets keep telling the people something different! They are saying, ‘You will not suffer from an enemy’s sword. You will never suffer from hunger. The Lord will give you peace in this land.’”
