Lamentations 2:15

"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."

Key Reflection

This verse highlights the failure of the prophets during a time of national crisis, indicating that instead of providing true guidance and warning about sin to lead the people back from their captivity, these false prophets offered misleading visions that contributed to the nation's downfall and exile.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes
