Jeremiah 5:14-17
Legacy Standard Bible
A Stubborn and Rebellious People
14 Therefore, thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts,
“Because you have spoken this word,
Behold, I am (A)making My words in your mouth fire
And this people wood, and it will devour them.
15 Behold, I am (B)bringing a nation against you from afar, O house of Israel,” declares Yahweh.
“It is an enduring nation;
It is an ancient nation,
A nation whose (C)tongue you do not know,
Nor can you [a]understand what they say.
16 Their (D)quiver is like an (E)open grave;
All of them are mighty men.
17 They will (F)devour your harvest and your food;
They will devour your sons and your daughters;
They will devour your flocks and your herds;
They will devour your (G)vines and your fig trees;
They will demolish with the sword your (H)fortified cities in which you trust.

Jeremiah 5:14-17
American Standard Version
14 Wherefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. 15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah: it is [a]a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. 16 Their quiver is an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. 17 And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat; they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds; they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall [b]beat down thy fortified cities, wherein thou trustest, with the sword.
