Context
11For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.
12They have belied the LORD, and said, not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
13And the prophets shall become wind, and the word not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
14Wherefore 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.
15Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it a mighty nation, it an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
16Their quiver as an open sepulchre, they all mighty men.
17And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, 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.
