Jeremiah 5:14-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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.(A)
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.(B)
16 Their quiver is like an open tomb;
    all of them are mighty warriors.(C)
17 They shall eat up your harvest and your food;
    they shall eat up your sons and your daughters;
they shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
    they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees;
they shall destroy with the sword
    your fortified cities in which you trust.(D)
