TSK · Lamentations 2:14

The elder^H2205 and the honorable^H6440 man, he^H1931 is the head;^H7218 and the prophet^H5030 that teacheth^H3384 lies,^H8267 he is the tail.^H2180

The priests^H3548 said^H559 not, Where is Jehovah?^H3068 and they that handle^H8610 the law^H8451 knew^H3045 me not: the rulers^H7462 also transgressed^H6586 against me, and the prophets^H5030 prophesied^H5012 by Baal,^H1168 and walked^H1980 after^H310 things that do not profit.^H3276

For from the least^H6996 of them even unto the greatest^H1419 of them every one is given^H1214 to covetousness;^H1215 and from the prophet^H5030 even unto the priest^H3548 every one dealeth^H6213 falsely.^H8267

Then said^H559 I, Ah,^H162 Lord^H136 Jehovah!^H3069 behold, the prophets^H5030 say^H559 unto them, Ye shall not see^H7200 the sword,^H2719 neither shall ye have famine;^H7458 but I will give^H5414 you assured^H571 peace^H7965 in this place.^H4725

But if they had stood^H5975 in my council,^H5475 then had they caused my people^H5971 to hear^H8085 my words,^H1697 and had turned^H7725 them from their evil^H7451 way,^H1870 and from the evil^H7455 of their doings.^H4611

Behold, I am against the prophets,^H5030 saith^H5002 Jehovah,^H3068 that use^H3947 their tongues,^H3956 and say,^H5001 He saith.^H5002

But as for you, hearken^H8085 ye not to your prophets,^H5030 nor to your diviners,^H7080 nor to your dreams,^H2472 nor to your soothsayers,^H6049 nor to your sorcerers,^H3786 that speak^H559 unto you, saying,^H559 Ye shall not serve^H5647 the king^H4428 of Babylon:^H894

And hearken^H8085 not unto the words^H1697 of the prophets^H5030 that speak^H559 unto you, saying,^H559 Ye shall not serve^H5647 the king^H4428 of Babylon;^H894 for they prophesy^H5012 a lie^H8267 unto you.

For thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts,^H6635 the God^H430 of Israel:^H3478 Let not your prophets^H5030 that are in the midst^H7130 of you, and your diviners,^H7080 deceive^H5377 you; neither hearken^H8085 ye to your dreams^H2472 which ye cause to be dreamed.^H2492

Where now^H346 are your prophets^H5030 that prophesied^H5012 unto you, saying,^H559 The king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 shall not come^H935 against you, nor against this land?^H776

Son^H1121 of man,^H120 prophesy^H5012 against the prophets^H5030 of Israel^H3478 that prophesy,^H5012 and say^H559 thou unto them that prophesy^H5030 out of their own heart,^H3820 Hear^H8085 ye the word^H1697 of Jehovah:^H3068

There is a conspiracy^H7195 of her prophets^H5030 in the midst^H8432 thereof, like a roaring^H7580 lion^H738 ravening^H2963 the prey:^H2964 they have devoured^H398 souls;^H5315 they take^H3947 treasure^H2633 and precious things;^H3366 they have made her widows^H490 many^H7235 in the midst^H8432 thereof.

If^H3863 a man^H376 walking^H1980 in a spirit^H7307 of falsehood^H8267 do lie,^H3576 [saying], I will prophesy^H5197 unto thee of wine^H3196 and of strong drink;^H7941 he shall even be the prophet^H5197 of this people.^H5971

Her prophets^H5030 are light^H6348 and treacherous^H900 persons;^H582 her priests^H3548 have profaned^H2490 the sanctuary,^H6944 they have done violence^H2554 to the law.^H8451
