14. Therefore, the Lord God of heavenly forces proclaims:Because you have spoken this way,I will put my wordsin your mouth as a fire;it will consume the people,who are but kindling.
15. I am about to bring a distant nation against you,people of Israel,declares the Lord.It is an established nation,an ancient nation,a nation whose language you don’t know,whose speech you won’t understand.
16. Its weapons are deadly;its warriors are many.
