Jeremiah 5:16-18

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶ Their quiver is like an open tomb,
    they are all mighty men.
¹⁷ They shall eat up your harvest and your food;
    they shall eat up your sons and your daughters;
they shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
    they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees;
your fortified cities in which you trust
    they shall destroy with the sword.”
