Jeremiah 5:12-14

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,
    nor shall we see sword or famine.
¹³The prophets will become wind;
    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,
behold, I am making my words in your mouth a fire,
and this people wood, and the fire shall devour them.
