For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.

The verse 15 is found in chapter 27 of Jeremiah. The message is also directed to Zedekiah, the priests, and the people: accepting the Babylonian yoke is presented as the way to preserve life. Prophets who announce the immediate return of the temple vessels are denounced. The time of restoration belongs to God and cannot be accelerated by human proclamations.

und ich habe sie nicht gesandt, spricht der HERR; sondern sie weissagen falsch in meinem Namen, auf daß ich euch ausstoße und ihr umkommt samt den Propheten, die euch weissagen.
Porque yo no los envié, dice Jehová, y ellos profetizan falsamente en mi nombre, para que yo os arroje, y perezcáis, vosotros y los profetas que os profetizan.
“Yo no los envié —declara Jehová—, pero profetizan mentira en mi nombre, para que yo los expulse y perezcan ustedes y los profetas que les profetizan”».
Je ne les ai point envoyés, dit l'Eternel, et ils prophétisent le mensonge en mon nom, afin que je vous chasse et que vous périssiez, vous et les prophètes qui vous prophétisent.
Conciossiachè io non li abbia mandati, dice il Signore; ma profetizzano in Nome mio falsamente; acciocchè io vi scacci, e periate, voi e i profeti che vi profetizzano.
Porque não os enviei, diz o SENHOR, e profetizam falsamente em meu nome; para que eu vos lance fora, e pereçais, vós e os profetas que vos profetizam.
耶和華說:『我並未差遣他們,他們卻託我的名傳假預言,使我將你們和向你們說預言的那些先知趕出去,一同滅亡。』」
