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)
Lamentations 2:14-16
King James Version
14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
15 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
