Jeremiah 5:11-14

11 The people of Israel and Judah have turned against me.

12 They have told lies about the Lord.

They have said, “He will not punish us!

No trouble will come to us.

There will be no war.

There will be no famine.

13 The prophets speak empty words.

They do not speak the Lord's messages.

The troubles that they talk about should happen to them, not us!” ’

14 Because of that, the Lord God Almighty said to me,

‘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.’
