Jeremiah 5:12-13
5:12 “These people have denied what the Lord says.
They have said, ‘That is not so!
No harm will come to us.
We will not experience war and famine.
5:13 The prophets will prove to be full of wind.
The Lord has not spoken through them.
So, let what they say happen to them.’”
Jeremiah 43:2
43:2 Then Azariah
son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and other arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are telling a lie! The
Lord our God did not send you to tell us, ‘You must not go to Egypt and settle there.’
Jeremiah 44:17
44:17 Instead we will do everything we vowed we would do.
We will sacrifice and pour out drink offerings to the goddess called the Queen of Heaven
just as we and our ancestors, our kings, and our leaders previously did in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, were well-off, and had no troubles.
