Jeremiah 5:15-18

15Behold, I am 1bringing a nation against you from far away, you house of Israel,” declares the Lord. “It is an enduring nation, It is an ancient nation, A nation whose 2language you do not know, Nor can you understand what they say.16Their 3quiver is like an 4open grave, All of them are warriors.17They will 5devour your harvest and your food; They will devour your sons and your daughters; They will devour your flocks and your herds; They will devour your 6vines and your fig trees; They will demolish your 7fortified cities, in which you trust, with the sword.

18“Yet even in those days,” declares the Lord, “I will not make a complete destruction of you.
