Jeremiah 5:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Climb her terraces, and ravage them,
destroy them completely.
Tear away her tendrils,
they do not belong to the Lord.(A)
11 For they have openly rebelled against me,
both the house of Israel and the house of Judah—
oracle of the Lord.(B)
12 They denied the Lord,[a]
saying, “He is nothing,
No evil shall come to us,
neither sword nor famine shall we see.(C)
Footnotes
- 5:12 They denied the Lord: the people act as though God does not matter and will not interfere.
