Jeremiah 5:14-16

New Century Version

“The people said I would not punish them.
    So, the words I give you will be like fire,
    and these people will be like wood that it burns up.
¹⁵ Listen, family of Israel,” says the Lord,
    “I will soon bring a nation from far away to attack you.
It is an old nation that has lasted a long time.
    The people there speak a language you do not know;
    you cannot understand what they say.
¹⁶ Their arrows bring death.
    All their people are strong warriors.
