Jeremiah 5:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 Be forewarned that I will bring against you
a nation from a great distance,
O house of Israel, says the Lord—
a long-existent nation,
a nation founded long ago,
a people whose language you do not know
and whose speech you cannot understand.
16 The quivers of these people are like open graves;
all of them are mighty warriors.
17 They will devour 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 vines and your fig trees;
with their swords they will destroy
your fortified towns in which you place your trust.
