10 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD's. |
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. |
12 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: |
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them. |
14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. |
15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. |
16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. |
17 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. |
18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you. |
