12 They denied the Lord,[a]
    saying, “He is nothing,
No evil shall come to us,
    neither sword nor famine shall we see.(A)
13 The prophets are wind,
    and the word is not with them.
    Let it be done to them!”

No harm will come to us;(B)
    we will never see sword or famine.(C)
13 The prophets(D) are but wind(E)
    and the word is not in them;
