Lamentations 2:14-16
Young's Literal Translation
14 Thy prophets have seen for thee a false and insipid thing, And have not revealed concerning thine iniquity, To turn back thy captivity, And they see for thee false burdens and causes of expulsion.
15 Clapped hands at thee have all passing by the way, They have hissed -- and they shake the head At the daughter of Jerusalem: `Is this the city of which they said: The perfection of beauty, a joy to all the land?'
16 Opened against thee their mouth have all thine enemies, They have hissed, yea, they gnash the teeth, They have said: `We have swallowed [her] up, Surely this [is] the day that we looked for, We have found -- we have seen.'

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)
