Jeremiah 5:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 And they shall eat thine harvest and thy bread: they shall devour thy sons and thy daughters: they shall eat up thy sheep and thy bullocks: they shall eat thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall destroy with the sword thy fenced cities, wherein thou didst trust.
18 Nevertheless, at those days, saith the Lord, I will not make a full end of [a]you.
19 And when (A)ye shall say, Wherefore doth the Lord our God do these things unto us? then shalt [b]thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
