24:005:011 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. 24:005:012 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: 24:005:013 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them. 24:005:014 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. 24:005:015 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. 24:005:016 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. 24:005:017 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which 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. 24:005:018 Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you. 24:005:019 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not your's. 24:005:020 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, 24:005:021 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: 24:005:022 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? 24:005:023 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. 24:005:024 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. 24:005:025 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. 24:005:026 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
