Jeremiah 5:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 I am going to bring upon you
a nation from far away, O house of Israel,
says 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.(A)
16 Their quiver is like an open tomb;
all of them are mighty warriors.(B)
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;
they shall destroy with the sword
your fortified cities in which you trust.(C)

New International Version
15 People of Israel,” declares the Lord,
“I am bringing a distant nation(A) against you—
an ancient and enduring nation,
a people whose language(B) you do not know,
whose speech you do not understand.
16 Their quivers(C) are like an open grave;
all of them are mighty warriors.
17 They will devour(D) your harvests and food,
devour(E) your sons and daughters;
they will devour(F) your flocks and herds,
devour your vines and fig trees.(G)
With the sword(H) they will destroy
the fortified cities(I) in which you trust.(J)
