Jeremiah 5:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ Thus saith the Lord the God of hosts: Because you have spoken this word, behold I will make my words in thy mouth as fire, and this people as wood, and it shall devour them.

¹⁵ Behold I will bring upon you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: a strong nation, an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou shalt not know, nor understand what they say.

¹⁶ Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all valiant.
