Jeremiah 14:15 meaning and explanation

Therefore this is what the LORD says about the prophets who prophesy in My name: I did not send them, yet they say, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’ By sword and famine these very prophets will meet their end!

Jeremiah 14:15, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Jeremiah has just told the LORD that other prophets are promising peace, and the LORD answers in verses 14 and 15. These prophets claim to speak in the LORD's name, but God says plainly, "I did not send them." Their message of safety is a lie, and the judgment they deny will fall on them first.
