Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
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.
18 But even in those days, says Yahweh, I will not make a full end with you.
