Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.

The verse 13 is found in chapter 14 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah protests that false prophets promise peace and prosperity in God’s name. Yahweh responds by denouncing those prophets for speaking invented visions. The true prophet is caught between the divine message and the people’s suffering, while the final prayer acknowledges that only Yahweh can provide rain and salvation.

Da sprach ich: Ach Herr, HERR, siehe, die Propheten sagen ihnen: Ihr werdet kein Schwert sehen und keine Teuerung bei euch haben; sondern ich will euch guten Frieden geben an diesem Ort.
Y yo dije: ¡Ah! ah! Señor Jehová! he aquí que los profetas les dicen: No veréis cuchillo, ni habrá hambre en vosotros, sino que en este lugar os daré paz verdadera.
Yo dije: «¡Ah, Señor Jehová! Los profetas les dicen: “No verán espada ni tendrán hambre, sino que les daré paz verdadera en este lugar”».
Je répondis: Ah! Seigneur Eternel! Voici, les prophètes leur disent: Vous ne verrez point d'épée, Vous n'aurez point de famine; Mais je vous donnerai dans ce lieu une paix assurée.
Ed io dissi: Ahi Signore Iddio! ecco, i profeti dicon loro: Voi non vedrete la spada, e fame non vi avverrà; anzi vi darò ferma pace in questo luogo.
Então disse eu: Ah! Senhor DEUS, eis que os profetas lhes dizem: Não vereis espada, e não tereis fome; antes vos darei paz verdadeira neste lugar.
我就說:「唉!主耶和華,看哪,那些先知常對他們說:『你們必不見刀劍,也不遭饑荒;耶和華要在這地方賞賜你們真正的平安。』」
