Jeremiah 5:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 Look, I am about to bring on you a nation from afar,
O house of Israel,” declares[a] Yahweh.
“It is an enduring nation, it is an ancient nation.[b]
A nation whose language you do not know,
and you cannot understand what they speak.
16 Their quiver is like an open tomb,
all of them are warriors.
17 And they will eat your harvest and your food,
they will eat your sons and your daughters,
they will eat your flock and your herd,
they will eat your vine and your fig tree,
they will smash with the sword your fortified cities,[c]
in which you trust.
