Jeremiah 5:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² They have denied the Lord,
    boldly asserting, “He will do nothing.
No harm will come to us;
    we will not endure either sword or famine.
¹³ The prophets are nothing but wind;
    the word is not in them.
    Their dire predictions will redound upon them.”
¹⁴ Therefore, the Lord, the God of hosts, has this to say:
Because you have said these things,
    my words will become a fire in your mouth,
and I will make this people like wood
    that the fire will consume.
