Jeremiah 5:12-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 They have spoken falsely of the Lord
and have said, “He will do nothing.
No evil will come upon us,
and we shall not see sword or famine.”(A)
13 The prophets are nothing but wind,
for the word is not in them.
Thus shall it be done to them!(B)
Jeremiah 5:12-13

12 “They have lied about the Lord
by saying, ‘He wouldn’t do that![a]

We won’t see sword and famine.

and the word is not in them.
So may the disaster happen to them!’”[c]
