Jeremiah 5:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹²They have spoken falsely of the Lord,
    and have said, “He will do nothing.
No evil will come upon us,
    and we shall not see sword or famine.”
¹³The prophets are nothing but wind,
    for the word is not in them.
Thus shall it be done to them!

¹⁴Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of hosts:
Because they^[a] have spoken this word,
I am now making my words in your mouth a fire,
and this people wood, and the fire shall devour them.
