Bible Quote for February 15

Dead Babies, False Prophets

I have cried until the tears no longer come.  My heart is broken, my spirit poured out, as I see what has happened to my people.  Little children and tiny babies are fainting and dying in the streets.  “Mama, we want food,” they cry, and then collapse in their mothers’ arms. Their lives ebb away like the life of a warrior wounded in battle.  In all the world has there ever been such sorrow?  O daughter of Jerusalem, to what can I compare your anguish? O virgin daughter of Zion, how can I comfort you? For your wound is as deep as the sea. Who can heal you?  Your “prophets” have said so many foolish things, false to the core. They did not try to hold you back from exile by pointing out your sins.  Instead, they painted false pictures, filling you with false hope.  (Lamentations 2:11-14 NLT)
