Jeremiah 5:14-31 - ESV Bible - Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of hosts:...

The Lord Proclaims Judgment

14 Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of hosts: "Because you have spoken this word, behold, ¹I am making my words in your mouth ²a fire, and this people wood, and the fire shall consume them.

15 ³Behold, 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, ⁴nor can you understand what they say.

16 ⁵Their quiver is like ⁶an open tomb; they are all mighty warriors.

17 ⁷They 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 ⁸fortified cities in which you trust they shall beat down with the sword."

18 "But even in those days, declares the LORD, ⁹I will not make a full end of you.

19 And when your people say, ¹⁰'Why has the LORD our God done all these things to us?' you shall say to them, 'As you have forsaken me and served foreign gods in your land, ¹¹so you shall serve foreigners in a land that is not yours.'"

20 Declare this in the house of Jacob; proclaim it in Judah:

21 "Hear this, ¹²O foolish and senseless people, ¹³who have eyes, but see not, who have ears, but hear not.

22 ¹⁴Do you not fear me? declares the LORD. Do you not tremble before me? I placed the sand ¹⁵as the boundary for the sea, a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass; though the waves toss, they cannot prevail; though ¹⁶they roar, they cannot pass over it.

23 ¹⁷But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart; they have turned aside and gone away.

24 They do not say in their hearts, 'Let us fear the LORD our God, ¹⁸who gives the rain in its season, the autumn rain and the spring rain, and keeps for us ¹⁹the weeks appointed for the harvest.'

25 ²⁰Your iniquities have turned these away, and your sins have kept good from you.

26 For wicked men are found among my people; ²¹they lurk like fowlers lying in wait.^a ²²They set a trap; they catch men.

27 Like a cage full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; therefore they have become great and rich;

28 ²³they have grown fat and sleek. They know no bounds in deeds of evil; ²⁴they judge not with justice the cause of the fatherless, to make it prosper, and they do not defend the rights of the needy.

29 ²⁵Shall I not punish them for these things? declares the LORD, and shall I not avenge myself on a nation such as this?"

30 An appalling and ²⁶horrible thing has happened in the land:

31 ²⁷the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule at their direction; ²⁸my people love to have it so, but what will you do when the end comes?
