Jeremiah 5:17

An Invasion From The North

¹⁶ Its quiver is as an open sepulchre, All of them -- mighty ones. ¹⁷ And it hath consumed thy harvest and thy bread, They consume thy sons, and thy daughters, It consumeth thy flock, and thy herd, It consumeth thy vine, and thy fig-tree, It maketh poor thy fenced cities, In which thou art trusting -- by the sword. ¹⁸ And even in those days, an affirmation of Jehovah, I do not make you a completion.
