Jeremiah had only contempt for false profits. Jeremiah 14: 13 - 18
14:13the prophets Jeremiah reports that prophets were declaring the opposite of what Yahweh just told him. Perhaps Jeremiah believes that Yahweh has intentionally given a false message to the other prophets (see 1 Kgs 22). 14:14I have not sent them Yahweh directly refutes Jeremiah’s implicit accusation, declaring that the message from the lying prophets had not come from Him. 14:15those prophets will perish Not only did Yahweh not send those prophets, He will judge them for their deceit just as He will judge all Judah for their sin. 14:17Let my eyes melt with tears The true word from Yahweh is that He must judge, though it grieves Him to punish His people. Compare Jer 12:7–11. 14:18both prophet and priest All religious leaders are responsible for misleading the people.
