10 Climb her terraces, and ravage them,destroy them completely.Tear away her tendrils,they do not belong to the Lord.
11 For they have openly rebelled against me,both the house of Israel and the house of Judah—oracle of the Lord.
12 They denied the Lord,saying, “He is nothing,No evil shall come to us,neither sword nor famine shall we see.
13 The prophets are wind,and the word is not with them.Let it be done to them!”
14 Therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of hosts,because you have said this—See! I make my wordsa fire in your mouth,And this people the woodthat it shall devour!—
15 Beware! I will bring against youa nation from far away,O House of Israel—oracle of the Lord;A long-lived nation, an ancient nation,a people whose language you do not know,whose speech you cannot understand.
16 Their quivers are like open graves;all of them are warriors.
