Jeremiah 5:12 (WEB)
Context Reading
10“Go up on her walls, and destroy, but don’t make a full end. Take away her branches, for they are not Yahweh’s. 11For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me,” says Yahweh. 12They have denied Yahweh, and said, “It is not he. Evil won’t come on us. We won’t see sword or famine. 13The prophets will become wind, and the word is not in them. Thus it will be done to them.” 14Therefore Yahweh, the God of Armies says, “Because you speak this word, behold, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it will devour them.
