Jeremiah 5:12-14

12They have 1lied about the Lord And said, “2 3Not He; Misfortune will 4not come on us, And we 5will not see sword or famine.13The 6prophets are as wind, And the word is not in them. Thus it will be done to them!”

14Therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, “Because you have spoken this word, Behold, I am 7making My words in your mouth fire And this people wood, and it will consume them.
