The Lord Proclaims Judgement

14 Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of hosts:
“Because you have spoken this word,
behold, (A)I am making my words in your mouth (B)a fire,
    and this people wood, and the fire shall consume them.
15 (C)Behold, I am bringing against you
    a nation from afar, O house of Israel,
declares the Lord.
It is an enduring nation;
    it is an ancient nation,
a nation whose language you do not know,
    (D)nor can you understand what they say.
16 (E)Their quiver is like (F)an open tomb;
    they are all mighty warriors.

    and these people the wood it consumes.(C)
15 People of Israel,” declares the Lord,
    “I am bringing a distant nation(D) against you—
an ancient and enduring nation,
    a people whose language(E) you do not know,
    whose speech you do not understand.
16 Their quivers(F) are like an open grave;
    all of them are mighty warriors.
