Lamentations 2:14-16
Legacy Standard Bible
Nun
14 Your (A)prophets have beheld for you
Worthless and ineffective visions;
And they have not (B)uncovered your iniquity
So as to [a]return you from captivity,
But they have (C)beheld for you worthless and misleading [b]oracles.
Samekh
15 All who pass along the way
(D)Clap their hands in derision at you;
They (E)hiss and shake their heads
At the daughter of Jerusalem,
“Is this the city of which they said,
‘(F)The perfection of beauty,
(G)The joy of the whole earth’?”
Pe
16 All (H)your enemies
Have opened their mouths wide against you;
They hiss and (I)gnash their teeth.
They say, “We have (J)swallowed her up!
Surely this is the (K)day for which we have hoped;
We have found it, we have seen it.”

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)
