Jeremiah 5:15-17

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵ I am about to bring a nation
from far away against you,^(A)
house of Israel.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
It is an established nation,
an ancient nation,
a nation whose language you do not know
and whose speech you do not understand.^(B)
16 Their quiver is like an open grave;^(C)
they are all warriors.
¹⁷ They will consume your harvest and your food.^(D)
They will consume your sons and your daughters.
They will consume your flocks and your herds.
They will consume your vines and your fig trees.
With the sword they will destroy
your fortified cities^(E) in which you trust.
