Jeremiah 5:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ People of Israel, the Lord is bringing a nation from far away to attack you. It is a strong and ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know. ¹⁶ Their archers are mighty soldiers who kill without mercy. ¹⁷ They will devour your crops and your food; they will kill your sons and your daughters. They will slaughter your flocks and your herds and destroy your vines and fig trees. The fortified cities in which you trust will be destroyed by their army.
