Jeremiah 5:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² Those people have lied about the Lord.
    They have said, “The Lord will not do anything to us!
Nothing bad will happen to us.
    We will never see war or hunger.
¹³ The prophets are like an empty wind.
    The word of God is not in them.
    Let these bad things they say happen to them.”

“The people said I would not punish them.
    So, Jeremiah, the words I give you will be like fire.
    And these people will be like wood the fire burns up.
