Jeremiah 5:14-16

International Children’s Bible

“The people said I would not punish them.
    So, Jeremiah, the words I give you will be like fire.
    And these people will be like wood the fire burns up.
¹⁵ Listen, family of Israel,” says the Lord.
    “I will soon bring a nation from far away to attack you.
It is an old nation that has lasted a long time.
    The people there speak a language you do not know.
    You cannot understand what they say.
¹⁶ Their arrows bring death.
    All their men are strong warriors.
