Jeremiah 5:13-15
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
13 And [say they] the prophets will become wind [what they prophesy will not come to pass], and the word [of God] is not in them. Thus shall it be done to them [as they threatened would be done to us].
14 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: Because you [the people] have spoken this word, behold, I will make My words fire in your mouth [Jeremiah] and this people wood, and it will devour them.
15 Behold, I am bringing a nation upon you from afar, O house of Israel, says the Lord. It is a mighty and enduring nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know, nor can you understand what they say.

Jeremiah 5:13-15
New International Version
13 The prophets(A) are but wind(B)
and the word is not in them;
so let what they say be done to them.”
14 Therefore this is what the Lord God Almighty says:
“Because the people have spoken these words,
I will make my words in your mouth(C) a fire(D)
and these people the wood it consumes.(E)
15 People of Israel,” declares the Lord,
“I am bringing a distant nation(F) against you—
an ancient and enduring nation,
a people whose language(G) you do not know,
whose speech you do not understand.
