12 They 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.
13 The prophets will become wind;
    the word is not in them.

“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.
