15 Therefore this is what Jehovah has said concerning the prophets who are prophesying in my name and whom I myself did not send and who are saying that no sword or famine will occur in this land, ‘By sword and by famine those prophets will come to their finish.+

17 “Therefore this is what Jehovah has said, ‘YOU yourselves have not obeyed me in keeping on proclaiming liberty+ each one to his brother and each one to his companion. Here I am proclaiming to YOU a liberty,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘to the sword,+ to the pestilence+ and to the famine,+ and I shall certainly give YOU for a quaking to all the kingdoms of the earth.+

12 A third of you—by the pestilence they will die,+ and by famine they will come to their end in the midst of you.+ And another third—by the sword they will fall all around you. And the [last] third I shall scatter even to every wind,+ and a sword is what I shall draw out after them.+
