Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 14:16

16 And the people to whom they prophesie, 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 .

The security promised by these false Prophets, shall be no excuse to the people for giving credit to them, the Prophets shall perish for prophesying falsly in my name, and the people that hearken to and believe what they say, and practise accordingly, shall perish for their light and vain credulity. As the sinful commands of superiours in things civil, will not free those from guilt that execute their commands: so the lies and false teachings of Ministers, will not excuse those that run into errour upon the credit of their words; both the one and the other owe their first homage and Allegiance to God, by whose word they ought to examine the precepts of the one, and the prophesyings of the other.
