Jeremiah 5:12-14
International Children’s Bible
12 Those people have lied about the Lord.
They have said, “The Lord will not do anything to us!
Nothing bad will happen to us.
We will never see war or hunger.
13 The prophets are like an empty wind.
The word of God is not in them.
Let these bad things they say happen to them.”
14 So this is what the Lord of heaven’s armies says:
“The people said I would not punish them.
So, Jeremiah, the words I give you will be like fire.
And these people will be like wood the fire burns up.
Jeremiah 5:12-14
New International Version
12 They have lied(A) about the Lord;
they said, “He will do nothing!
No harm will come to us;(B)
we will never see sword or famine.(C)
13 The prophets(D) are but wind(E)
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:
