Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, says Yahweh.
12 They have denied Yahweh, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come on us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
13 and the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done to them.
14 Therefore thus says Yahweh, the 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 on you from far, house of Israel, says Yahweh: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you don`t know, neither understand what they say.
16 Their quiver is an open tomb, they are all mighty men.
17 They shall eat up your harvest, and your bread, [which] your sons and your daughters should eat; they shall eat up your flocks and your herds; they shall eat up your vines and your fig-trees; they shall beat down your fortified cities, in which you trust, with the sword.
