Jeremiah 5:10-18
New International Version
Jeremiah 5:10-18
New International Version
10 “Go through her vineyards and ravage them,
but do not destroy them completely.(A)
Strip off her branches,
for these people do not belong to the Lord.
11 The people of Israel and the people of Judah
have been utterly unfaithful(B) to me,”
declares the Lord.
12 They have lied(C) about the Lord;
they said, “He will do nothing!
No harm will come to us;(D)
we will never see sword or famine.(E)
13 The prophets(F) are but wind(G)
and the word is not in them;
so let what they say be done to them.”
14 Therefore this is what the Lord God Almighty says:
“Because the people have spoken these words,
I will make my words in your mouth(H) a fire(I)
and these people the wood it consumes.(J)
15 People of Israel,” declares the Lord,
“I am bringing a distant nation(K) against you—
an ancient and enduring nation,
a people whose language(L) you do not know,
whose speech you do not understand.
16 Their quivers(M) are like an open grave;
all of them are mighty warriors.
17 They will devour(N) your harvests and food,
devour(O) your sons and daughters;
they will devour(P) your flocks and herds,
devour your vines and fig trees.(Q)
With the sword(R) they will destroy
the fortified cities(S) in which you trust.(T)
18 “Yet even in those days,” declares the Lord, “I will not destroy(U) you completely.

King James Version
Jeremiah 5:10-18
King James Version
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.
