GOD’S WORD Translation
Jeremiah 5:15-17
GOD’S WORD Translation
15 Nation of Israel, I’m going to bring a nation from far away
to attack you, declares the Lord.
It is a nation that has lasted a long time.
It is an ancient nation.
You don’t know the language of this nation.
You can’t understand what its people say.
16 Their arrow quivers are like open graves.
They are all mighty warriors.
17 They will devour your harvest and your food.
They will devour your sons and your daughters.
They will devour your flocks and your cattle.
They will devour your grapevines and your fig trees.
With their swords they will destroy
the fortified cities you trust.

15 People of Israel,” declares the Lord,
“I am bringing a distant nation(A) against you—
an ancient and enduring nation,
a people whose language(B) you do not know,
whose speech you do not understand.
16 Their quivers(C) are like an open grave;
all of them are mighty warriors.
17 They will devour(D) your harvests and food,
devour(E) your sons and daughters;
they will devour(F) your flocks and herds,
devour your vines and fig trees.(G)
With the sword(H) they will destroy
the fortified cities(I) in which you trust.(J)
