Jeremiah 5:13-15
International Standard Version
13 The prophets are nothing but[a] wind,
and the word is not in them.
So may the disaster happen to them!’”[b]
14 Therefore, this is what the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies says:
“Because you people[c] have said this,
my words in your[d] mouth will become a fire
and these people the wood.
The fire[e] will destroy them.
15 People of Israel, I’m now bringing
a nation from far away to attack you,”
declares the Lord.
“It is an enduring nation,
an ancient nation,
a nation whose language you don’t know.
And you won’t understand what they say.
