Jeremiah 5:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ The bags they carry their arrows in are like an open grave.
    All their soldiers are mighty.
¹⁷ They will eat up your crops and your food.
    They will strike down your sons and daughters.
They will kill your sheep and cattle.
    They will destroy your vines and fig trees.
You trust in your cities that have high walls around them.
    But the people in them will be killed by swords.
