Jeremiah 5:12-14

New Living Translation

¹² “They have lied about the Lord
    and said, ‘He won’t bother us!
No disasters will come upon us.
    There will be no war or famine.
¹³ God’s prophets are all windbags
    who don’t really speak for him.
    Let their predictions of disaster fall on themselves!’”

“Because the people are talking like this,
    my messages will flame out of your mouth
    and burn the people like kindling wood.
