Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the Prophets that prophesy in my name and I sent them not, yet they say, sword and famine shall not be in this Land, by sword and famine shall those Prophets be consumed. 16. And the people to whom they prophesy, shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the famine and the sword, and they shall have none to bury them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them. God will not perform the deceitful promises of the Ministers of Satan, but he will certainly execute his threatenings against them: that their end shall be according to their works. 2 Cor. 11.15. In a word, when Hell swallowed up quick some wicked Ministers for flattering the people, that they were holy enough; and for charging those that were more strict, that they took too much upon them, the Text says, All Israel that were round about them, fled at the cry of them, for they said, lest the earth swallow us up also, Numb. 16.3.32, 33, 34.
