Jeremiah 14:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

We have many complaints of this prophet against false prophets that contradicted his prophecies, Jeremiah 4:10, Jeremiah 23:9, and we shall hereafter meet with the names of some of them. Corrupt governments never want prophets to their humour, though a bolder transgression can hardly be imagined, than for men to entitle God to their own imaginations and fancies, and we shall, Jeremiah 14:15, meet with the usual wages of such works.

Jeremiah 14:13

13 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assuredb peace in this place.
