Because you have spoken this word,
I am going to make my words
become fire in your mouth.(A)
These people are the wood,
and the fire will consume them.(B)
15 I am about to bring a nation
from far away against you,(C)
house of Israel.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
It is an established nation,
an ancient nation,
a nation whose language you do not know
and whose speech you do not understand.(D)
16 Their quiver is like an open grave;(E)
they are all warriors.
