Jeremiah 5:16-18

New Life Version

¹⁶ Their arrow-holder is like an open grave. All of them are powerful men. ¹⁷ They will eat up your food that you gather from your fields. They will eat the food your sons and your daughters should eat. They will eat up your flocks and your cattle. They will destroy your grape-fields and your fig trees. They will destroy with the sword your strong cities in which you trust.

¹⁸ “Yet even in those days I will not make a complete end of you,” says the Lord.
