Jeremiah 5:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

Because you’ve talked like this,
I’m going to put my words in your mouth like a fire.
These people will be like wood.
My words will burn them up.
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.
