I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an object of horror, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations where I have driven them;
And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an horror, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations where I have driven them: (k) Read .
God raised up prophets in Babylon extending His agency far beyond Judah's bounds. Yet these false prophets contradicted the true word of judgment, promising swift end to captivity while the exiles would suffer sword, famine, and pestilence until all Judah was destroyed for refusing His servants the true prophets.

Commenting on Jeremiah 29:15-20
These captives rejected Jeremiah's counsel and clung to false prophets in Babylon who flattered them with lies. They even fathered this deception on God Himself, calling those deceivers His prophets. But mark it: anyone who hardens sinners and deceives them with false hopes of mercy is no prophet of God's raising up.
