Jeremiah 5:16-18
New Catholic Bible
16 The quivers of these people are like open graves;
all of them are mighty warriors.
17 They will devour your harvest and your food,
they will devour your sons and your daughters;
they will devour your flocks and your herds,
they will devour your vines and your fig trees;
with their swords they will destroy
your fortified towns in which you place your trust.
18 [a]Yet even in those days, declares the Lord, I will not completely destroy you.
