“Because they have spoken this word [C that God would not punish them].
    the words I ·give you [L place in your mouth] will be like fire,
    and these people will be like wood that it ·burns up [consumes; devours].

    “I will soon bring a nation from far away ·to attack [L against] you.
It is an ·old [ancient] nation that has ·lasted [endured] a long time [C Babylon].
    ·The people there speak a language [Its language/L tongue] you do not know [C Aramaic or Akkadian];

16 Their ·arrows bring death [L quiver is like an open grave].
    All their people are strong warriors.
