Jeremiah 5:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² They have told lies about the Lord.
    They said, “He won’t do anything!
No harm will come to us.
    We will never see war or be hungry.
¹³ The prophets are nothing but wind.
    Their message doesn’t come from the Lord.
    So let what they say will happen be done to them.”

“The people have spoken these words.
    So my words will be like fire in your mouth.
I will make the people like wood.
    And the fire will burn them up.”
