Jeremiah 5:13Easy To Read Version“The \{false\} prophets are only empty wind. {\cf2\super [33]} \par The word of God is not in them. {\cf2\super [34]} \par Bad things will happen to them.”\par See the chapter |
Then the enemies of Jeremiah said, “Come, let us make plans against Jeremiah. Surely the teaching of the law by the priest will not be lost. And the advice from the wise men will still be with us. We will still have the words of the prophets. So let us tell lies about him. That will ruin him. We will not pay attention to anything he says.”
Judah, the punishment I give\par will come like a storm.\par And it will blow all your shepherds away.\par You thought some of the other nations\par would help you.\par But those nations will also be defeated.\par Then you will really be disappointed.\par You will be ashamed of all the bad things\par that you did.\par
The prophet says, “Israel, learn these things: The time of punishment has come. The time has come for you to pay \{for the evil things you did\}.” But the people of Israel say, “The prophet is a fool. This man with \{God’s\} Spirit is crazy.” The prophet says, “You will be punished for your bad sins. You will be punished for your hate.”
