Jeremiah 5:12-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
12
They have lied about the
Lord
And said, 'Not He;
Misfortune will not come upon us,
Nor will we see sword or famine.
13
The prophets are
as
wind,
And the word is not in them.
So it will be done to them!'
14
Therefore, this is what the
Lord
, the God of armies says:
'Because you have spoken this word,
Behold, I am making My words fire in your mouth,
And this people wood, and it will consume them.
15
Behold, I am bringing a nation against you from far away, you house of Israel,' declares the
Lord
.
'It is an enduring nation,
It is an ancient nation,
A nation whose language you do not know,
Nor can you understand what they say.
16
Their quiver is like an open grave,
All of them are warriors.
17
They will devour your harvest and your food;
They will devour your sons and your daughters;
They will devour your flocks and your herds;
They will devour your vines and your fig trees;
They will demolish your fortified cities, in which you trust, with the sword.
18
Yet even in those days,' declares the
Lord
, 'I will not make a complete destruction of you.
King James Version
Chapter 5
12
They have belied the
Lord
, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon 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 unto them.
14
Wherefore thus saith the
Lord
God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15
Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the
Lord
: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
16
Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
17
And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
18
Nevertheless in those days, saith the
Lord
, I will not make a full end with you.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
12
They have contradicted the
Lord
and insisted, "It won’t happen.
Harm won’t come to us;
we won’t see sword or famine."
13
The prophets become only wind,
for the
Lord
’s word is not in them.
This will in fact happen to them.
14
Therefore, this is what the Lord
God
of Armies says:
Because you have spoken this word,
I am going to make my words
become fire in your mouth.
These people are the wood,
and the fire will consume them.
15
I am about to bring a nation
from far away against you,
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.
16
Their quiver is like an open grave;
they are all warriors.
17
They will consume your harvest and your food.
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 in which you trust.
18
"But even in those days"—this is the
Lord
’s declaration—"I will not finish you off.
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
12
'They have lied about the
Lord
and said, ‘He won’t bother us!
No disasters will come upon us.
There will be no war or famine.
13
God’s prophets are all windbags
who don’t really speak for him.
Let their predictions of disaster fall on themselves!’'
14
Therefore, this is what the
Lord
God of Heaven’s Armies says:
'Because the people are talking like this,
my messages will flame out of your mouth
and burn the people like kindling wood.
15
O Israel, I will bring a distant nation against you,'
says the
Lord
.
'It is a mighty nation,
an ancient nation,
a people whose language you do not know,
whose speech you cannot understand.
16
Their weapons are deadly;
their warriors are mighty.
17
They will devour the food of your harvest;
they will devour your sons and daughters.
They will devour your flocks and herds;
they will devour your grapes and figs.
And they will destroy your fortified towns,
which you think are so safe.
18
Yet even in those days I will not blot you out completely,' says the
Lord
.
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
12
They have spoken falsely of the
Lord
and have said, ‘He will do nothing;
no disaster will come upon us,
nor shall we see sword or famine.
13
The prophets will become wind;
the word is not in them.
Thus shall it be done to them!’"
14
Therefore thus says the
Lord
, the God of hosts:
"Because you have spoken this word,
behold, I am making my words in your mouth a fire,
and this people wood, and the fire shall consume them.
15
Behold, I am bringing against you
a nation from afar, O house of Israel, declares the
Lord
.
It is an enduring nation;
it is an ancient nation,
a nation whose language you do not know,
nor can you understand what they say.
16
Their quiver is like an open tomb;
they are all mighty warriors.
17
They shall eat up your harvest and your food;
they shall eat up your sons and your daughters;
they shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees;
your fortified cities in which you trust
they shall beat down with the sword."
18
"But even in those days, declares the
Lord
, I will not make a full end of you.
New International Version
Chapter 5
12
They have lied about the
Lord
;
they said, "He will do nothing!
No harm will come to us;
we will never see sword or famine.
13
The prophets are but wind
and the word is not in them;
so let what they say be done to them."
14
Therefore this is what the
Lord
God Almighty says:
"Because the people have spoken these words,
I will make my words in your mouth a fire
and these people the wood it consumes.
15
People of Israel," declares the
Lord
,
"I am bringing a distant nation against you—
an ancient and enduring nation,
a people whose language you do not know,
whose speech you do not understand.
16
Their quivers are like an open grave;
all of them are mighty warriors.
17
They will devour your harvests and food,
devour your sons and daughters;
they will devour your flocks and herds,
devour your vines and fig trees.
With the sword they will destroy
the fortified cities in which you trust.
18
"Yet even in those days," declares the
Lord
, "I will not destroy you completely.
New King James Version
Chapter 5
12
They have lied about the
Lord
,
And said, “
It is
not He.
Neither will evil come upon us,
Nor shall we see sword or famine.
13
And the prophets become wind,
For the word
is
not in them.
Thus shall it be done to them.”
14
Therefore thus says the
Lord
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 against you from afar,
O house of Israel,” says the
Lord
.
“It
is
a mighty nation,
It
is
an ancient nation,
A nation whose language you do not know,
Nor can you understand what they say.
16
Their quiver
is
like an open tomb;
They
are
all mighty men.
17
And they shall eat up your harvest and your bread,
Which
your sons and daughters should eat.
They shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
They shall eat up your vines and your fig trees;
They shall destroy your fortified cities,
In which you trust, with the sword.
18
“Nevertheless in those days,” says the
Lord
, “I will not make a complete end of you.
