Jeremiah 5:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² They have lied about the Lord
    and said, “He’ll do nothing!^[a]
Disaster won’t come upon us;
    we won’t see war or famine.”
¹³ The prophets are so much wind;
    the word isn’t in them.
        Thus and so may it be done to them.

Because you have spoken this way,
    I will put my words
        in your mouth as a fire;
    it will consume the people,
        who are but kindling.
