Jeremiah 5:14-16
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
14 Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of hosts:
Because they[a] have spoken this word,
I am now making my words in your mouth a fire,
and this people wood, and the fire shall devour them.
15 I am going to bring upon you
a nation from far away, O house of Israel,
says the Lord.
It is an enduring nation,
it is an ancient nation,
a nation whose language you do not know,
nor can you understand what they say.
16 Their quiver is like an open tomb;
all of them are mighty warriors.
