Is the Lord Not in Zion?

In these verses the Lord is breaking down the buildings and walls of Jerusalem. Her king and her princes are removed from the land, either in captivity in Babylon or as refugees among the nations. Not just the rulers, but the general population have been devastated. Verse 14 describes the way that the false prophets played such a role in bringing about her ruin. We see these figures throughout the book of Jeremiah.Jeremiah struggles trying to deal with these false prophets,. Their words are false peace by which they discouraged Jerusalem from any sort of real repentance.
