11. The people of Israel and the people of Judahhave been utterly unfaithful to me,’declares the Lord.
12. They have lied about the Lord;they said, ‘He will do nothing!No harm will come to us;we will never see sword or famine.
13. The prophets are but windand the word is not in them;so let what they say be done to them.’
14. Therefore this is what the Lord God Almighty says:‘Because the people have spoken these words,I will make my words in your mouth a fireand these people the wood it consumes.
15. People of Israel,’ declares the Lord,‘I am bringing a distant nation against you –an ancient and enduring nation,a people whose language you do not know,whose speech you do not understand.
16. Their quivers are like an open grave;all of them are mighty warriors.
