Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to reverse your captivity, but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.

ગુજરાતીયર્મિયાનો વિલાપ ૨:૧૪
તારા પ્રબોધકોએ તારે સારુ નિરર્થક તથા મુર્ખામીભર્યા સંદર્શનો જોયાં છે. તેઓએ તારો અન્યાય ઉઘાડો કર્યો નહિ, કે જેથી તારો બંદીવાસ પાછો ફેરવાઈ જાત, પણ તમારે માટે અસત્ય વચનો તથા પ્રલોભનો જોયા છે.
हिन्दीविलापगीत २:१४
तेरे भविष्यद्वक्ताओं ने दर्शन का दावा करके तुझ से व्यर्थ और मूर्खता की बातें कही हैं; उन्होंने तेरा अधर्म प्रगट नहीं किया, नहीं तो तेरी बँधुआई न होने पाती; परन्तु उन्होंने तुझे व्यर्थ के और झूठे वचन बताए। जो तेरे लिये देश से निकाल दिए जाने का कारण हुए।

In context

12They ask their mothers, “Where is grain and wine?” when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers’ bosom.

13What shall I testify to you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your breach is as big as the sea. Who can heal you?

14Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to reverse your captivity, but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.

15All that pass by clap their hands at you. They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, “Is this the city that men called ‘The perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth’?”

16All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you. They hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, “We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for. We have found it. We have seen it.”
