Jeremiah 5:12
No One Is Just
11For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have been utterly unfaithful to Me,” declares the LORD. 12They have lied about the LORD and said: “He will not do anything; harm will not come to us; we will not see sword or famine. 13The prophets are but wind, for the word is not in them. So let their own predictions befall them. ”
