My eyes do fail with tears, my heart is troubled; My liver is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, Because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.
"Thy prophets have seen for thee false and foolish visions"  (Lamentations 2:14).  There were prolific numbers of these false prophets in Israel, Jezebel sustained several hundred of them at one time (1 Kings 18:19). They pretended to have messages from God, but they were unprincipled liars, who merely prophesied what they knew their rulers wanted to hear.  These false prophets did not preach against sin.  We cannot leave this without noting that much of the preaching today smooths over the dreadful results of violating God's commandments.
