Jeremiah 5:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 5:12

10 “Go up on her walls and destroy,
But do not¹ make a ^acomplete end.
Take away her branches,
For they are not the Lord’s.

11 For ^athe house of Israel and the house of Judah
Have dealt very treacherously with Me,” says the Lord.

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.
