Jeremiah 5:13-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 The prophets are nothing but wind,
for the word is not in them.
Thus shall it be done to them!(A)
14 Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of hosts:
Because you have spoken this word,
I am now making my words in your mouth a fire
and this people wood, and the fire shall devour them.(B)
15 I am going to bring upon you
a nation from far away, O house of Israel,
says the Lord.
It is an enduring nation;
it is an ancient nation,
a nation whose language you do not know,
nor can you understand what they say.(C)

“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)

“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.
