La Bible David Martin (1744)
C'est pourquoi, ainsi a dit l'Eternel touchant les prophètes qui prophétisent en mon Nom, et que je n'ai point envoyés, et qui disent : l'épée ni la famine ne sera point en ce pays; ces prophètes-là seront consumés par l'épée et par la famine.
La Bible Ostervald (1996)
C'est pourquoi ainsi a dit l'Éternel, touchant ces prophètes qui prophétisent en mon nom sans que je les aie envoyés, et qui disent: "Il n'y aura ni épée, ni famine dans ce pays", ces prophètes eux-mêmes périront par l'épée et par la famine.
Louis Segond (1910)
C'est pourquoi ainsi parle l'Eternel Sur les prophètes qui prophétisent en mon nom, Sans que je les aie envoyés, Et qui disent: Il n'y aura dans ce pays ni épée ni famine: Ces prophètes périront par l'épée et par la famine.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets,.... The false prophets, as the following description shows:

that prophecy in my name, and I sent them not; made use of his name, pretending his authority, though they were not sent by him:

yet they say, sword and famine shall not be in the land; though the Lord by his true prophet had said there should be both; which proves that they were not sent by the Lord, since what they said was in direct opposition to the word of the Lord; wherefore their doom in righteous judgment follows:

by sword and famine shall these prophets be consumed; they should be some of the first, if not the first that should perish by these calamities; which would abundantly prove the falsehood of their predictions, and show that their lies could neither secure themselves nor others from the judgments which the Lord had said should come upon them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 14:15. By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed. — Jeremiah had told Jehoiakim that, if he rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar, he should be overthrown, and the land wasted by sword and famine: the false prophets said there shall be neither sword nor famine, but peace and prosperity. The king believed them, and withheld the tribute. Nebuchadnezzar, being incensed, invaded and destroyed the land; and the false prophets fell in these calamities. See 2 Kings 25:3; Lamentations 2:11-19.
