12     They spew lies about the Eternal that mock My sovereign power.
        They have said, “Nothing will happen! God will not hurt us!
    All this talk of war and famine is just talk.
13     As for the prophets, they are full of hot air;
        the word of God is not in them;
    Let their words of doom fall on them.”

14 The Eternal One, Commander of heavenly armies, has this to say:

Eternal One (to Jeremiah): Because this is the way they[a] speak,
        I am going to turn My words in your mouth into a fire,
    A fire that will consume these people; they are nothing but kindling for My fury.
