New King James Version

Jeremiah 5:13-16 New King James Version (NKJV)

13. And the prophets become wind,For the word is not in them.Thus shall it be done to them.”

14. Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts:“Because you speak this word,Behold, I will make My words in your mouth fire,And this people wood,And it shall devour them.

15. Behold, I will bring a nation against you from afar,O house of Israel,” says the Lord.“It is a mighty nation,It is an ancient nation,A nation whose language you do not know,Nor can you understand what they say.

16. Their quiver is like an open tomb;They are all mighty men.
