Jeremiah 5:15-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁵ “Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from afar, O House of Israel,” says the LORD, “which is a mighty nation, and an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know. Nor do you understand what they say.

¹⁶ “Their quiver is as an open sepulcher. They are all very strong.

¹⁷ “And they shall eat your harvest and your bread. They shall devour your sons and your daughters. They shall eat up your sheep and your bullocks. They shall eat your vines and your fig trees. They shall destroy your fenced cities with the sword, in which you trusted.
