14 The Eternal One, Commander of heavenly armies, has this to say:

Eternal One (to Jeremiah): Because this is the way they[a] speak,
        I am going to turn My words in your mouth into a fire,
    A fire that will consume these people; they are nothing but kindling for My fury.

15     (to His people) O house of Israel, I am stirring up a distant nation to march against you.
        They are an enduring people from ancient times.
    The language they speak is unknown to you;
        you will not understand them.
16     Their quiver is like a gaping grave, full of death.
        They are all mighty warriors.
