Context Readings

An Invasion From The North

12 "These people have denied what the Lord says. They have said, 'That is not so! No harm will come to us. We will not experience war and famine. 13 The prophets will prove to be full of wind. The Lord has not spoken through them. So, let what they say happen to them.'" 14 Because of that, the Lord, the God who rules over all, 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."
