Jeremiah 5:12-14

New Century Version

¹² Those people have lied about the Lord
    and said, “He 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 the bad things they say happen to them.”

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