Jeremiah 5:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

‘That is what the people are saying.
    So I will give you a strong message to speak to them.
It will be like fire that comes out of your mouth.
    And the people will burn like wood in that fire.’

‘Listen to me, you people of Israel.
    I will bring an army to attack you.
They will come from a nation that is far away.
    It is a strong nation that started long ago.
You do not know their language.
    You cannot understand what they say.
¹⁶ They are all brave soldiers.
    They shoot arrows that will kill you.
