Jeremiah 5:14
Berean Standard Bible
Therefore this is what the LORD God of Hosts says: “Because you have spoken this word, I will make My words a fire in your mouth and this people the wood it consumes.
Context
12They have lied about the LORD and said:
“He will not do anything; harm will not come to us;
we will not see sword or famine. 13The prophets are but wind,
for the word is not in them.
So let their own predictions befall them.*” 14Therefore this is what the LORD God of Hosts says:
“Because you have spoken this word,
I will make My words a fire in your mouth
and this people the wood it consumes. 15Behold, I am bringing a distant nation against you,
O house of Israel,” declares the LORD.
“It is an established nation,
an ancient nation,
a nation whose language you do not know
and whose speech you do not understand. 16Their quivers are like open graves;
they are all mighty men.
