Jeremiah 5:13–14

The prophets will become wind;

the word is not in them.

Thus shall it be done to them!’ ”

Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of hosts:

“Because you have spoken this word,

behold, I am making my words in your mouth a fire,

and this people wood, and the fire shall consume them.

The prophets are but wind

and the word is not in them;

so let what they say be done to them.”

Therefore this is what the Lord God Almighty says:

“Because the people have spoken these words,

I will make my words in your mouth a fire

and these people the wood it consumes.

The prophets become only wind,

for the Lord’s word is not in them.

This will in fact happen to them.

Therefore, this is what the Lord God of Armies says:

Because you have spoken this word,

I am going to make my words

become fire in your mouth.

These people are the wood,

and the fire will consume them.

God’s prophets are all windbags

who don’t really speak for him.

Let their predictions of disaster fall on themselves!’ ”

Therefore, this is what the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies says:

“Because the people are talking like this,

my messages will flame out of your mouth

and burn the people like kindling wood.

And the prophets are like wind,

and the word is not in them.’

Thus it will be done to them.”

Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts,

“Because you have spoken this word,

look, I am making my words in your mouth like a fire,

and this people wood, and it will devour them.

And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them. 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.
