Jeremiah 5:13-15
EasyEnglish Bible
Jeremiah 5:13-15
EasyEnglish Bible
13 The prophets speak empty words.
They do not speak the Lord's messages.
The troubles that they talk about should happen to them, not us!” ’
14 Because of that, the Lord God Almighty said to me,
‘That is what the people are saying.
So I will give you a strong message to speak to them.
It will be like fire that comes out of your mouth.
And the people will burn like wood in that fire.’
15 The Lord says this:
‘Listen to me, you people of Israel.
I will bring an army to attack you.
They will come from a nation that is far away.
It is a strong nation that started long ago.
You do not know their language.
You cannot understand what they say.

New International Version
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.
