Jeremiah 5:13-15

Living Bible

¹³ God’s prophets,” they say, “are windbags full of words with no divine authority. Their claims of doom will fall upon themselves, not us!”

¹⁴ Therefore, this is what the Lord God of Hosts says to his prophets: Because of talk like this, I’ll take your words and prophecies and turn them into raging fire and burn up these people like kindling wood. ¹⁵ See, I will bring a distant nation against you, O Israel, says the Lord. It is a mighty nation, an ancient nation^[a] whose language you don’t understand.
