Jeremiah 5:11

Faithfulness and loyalty

9 Should I not punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. “Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?

10 Go up through her vineyards and ravage them, but do not finish them off. Strip off her branches, for they do not belong to the LORD.

For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have been utterly unfaithful to Me,” declares the LORD.

12 They have lied about the LORD and said: “He will not do anything; harm will not come to us; we will not see sword or famine.

13 The prophets are but wind, for the word is not in them. So let their own predictions befall them.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
