Jeremiah 5:14

Compare all

12 ^aThey have lied about the Lord,
And said, ^b“It is not He.
^cNeither will¹ evil come upon us,
Nor shall we see sword or famine.

13 And the prophets become wind,
For the word is not in them.
Thus shall it be done to them.”

14 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts:
“Because you speak this word,
^aBehold, I will make My words in your mouth fire,
And this people wood,
And it shall devour them.

15 Behold, I will bring a ^anation against you ^bfrom afar,
O house of Israel,” says the Lord.
“It is a mighty nation,
It is an ancient nation,
A nation whose language you do not know,
Nor can you understand what they say.

16 Their quiver is like an open tomb;
They are all mighty men.

17 And they shall eat up your ^aharvest and your bread,
Which your sons and daughters should eat.
They shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
They shall eat up your vines and your fig trees;
They shall destroy your fortified cities,
In which you trust, with the sword.
