Jeremiah 5:13-15

New Century Version

¹³The prophets are like an empty wind;
the word of God is not in them.
Let the bad things they say happen to them.”

¹⁴So this is what the Lord God All-Powerful says:

“The people said I would not punish them.
    So, the words I give you will be like fire,
    and these people will be like wood that it burns up.
¹⁵Listen, 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.
