Jeremiah 5:12-13
Christian Standard Bible
12 They have contradicted the Lord
and insisted, “It won’t happen.[a](A)
Harm won’t come to us;
we won’t see sword or famine.”
13 The prophets become only wind,
for the Lord’s word is not in them.
This will in fact happen to them.

Jeremiah 5:12-13
New Living Translation
12 “They have lied about the Lord
and said, ‘He won’t bother us!
No disasters will come upon us.
There will be no war or famine.
13 God’s prophets are all windbags
who don’t really speak for him.
Let their predictions of disaster fall on themselves!’”
