"All of its soldiers are strong and mighty. Their arrows will send you to your grave."
— Jeremiah 5:16, NET Bible
“Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.”
“Their quiver is an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. ”
“Their quiver is an open tomb, they are all mighty men.”
“Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all valiant.”
“Their arrows give certain death, they are all men of war.”
“Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.”
The prophets will prove to be full of wind. The LORD has not spoken through them. So, let what they say happen to them.’”
Because of that, the LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, said to me,“Because these people have spoken like this, I will make the words that I put in your mouth like fire. And I will make this people like wood which the fiery judgments you speak will burn up.”
The LORD says,“Listen, nation of Israel! I am about to bring a nation from far away to attack you. It will be a nation that was founded long ago and has lasted for a long time. It will be a nation whose language you will not know. Its people will speak words that you will not be able to understand.
All of its soldiers are strong and mighty. Their arrows will send you to your grave.
They will eat up your crops and your food. They will kill off your sons and your daughters. They will eat up your sheep and your cattle. They will destroy your vines and your fig trees. Their weapons will batter down the fortified cities you trust in.
Yet even then I will not completely destroy you,” says the LORD.
“So then, Jeremiah, when your people ask,‘Why has the LORD our God done all this to us?’ tell them,‘It is because you rejected me and served foreign gods in your own land. So you must serve foreigners in a land that does not belong to you.’
