Jeremiah 5:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Its weapons are deadly;^[a]
    its warriors are many.
¹⁷ It will devour your harvest and food;
    it will devour your sons and daughters;
    it will devour your flocks and herds;
    it will devour your vines and fig trees;
    it will shatter your fortified towns in which you trust—
        with the sword!
