Lamentations 2:14-16
Common English Bible
14 Your prophets gave you worthless and empty visions.
They didn’t reveal your sin so as to prevent your captivity.
Instead, they showed you worthless and incorrect prophecies.
15 All who pass by on the road clap their hands about you;
they whistle, shaking their heads at Daughter Jerusalem:
“Could this be the city called Perfect Beauty, the Joy of All the Earth?”
16 All your enemies open wide their mouths against you;
they whistle, grinding their teeth. They say, “We have devoured!
This is definitely the day we’ve been waiting for. We’ve seen it come to pass.”
Lamentations 2:14-16
New International Version
14 The visions of your prophets
were false(A) and worthless;
they did not expose your sin
to ward off your captivity.(B)
The prophecies they gave you
were false and misleading.(C)
