Jeremiah 5:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 For they have openly rebelled against me,
both the house of Israel and the house of Judah—
oracle of the Lord.(A)
12 They denied the Lord,[a]
saying, “He is nothing,
No evil shall come to us,
neither sword nor famine shall we see.(B)
13 The prophets are wind,
and the word is not with them.
Let it be done to them!”
Footnotes
- 5:12 They denied the Lord: the people act as though God does not matter and will not interfere.
