Jeremiah 15:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² “Jeremiah, you know that no one
    can shatter a piece of iron.
I mean the kind of iron that is from the north.^[a]
    And no one can shatter a piece of bronze either.
¹³ The people of Judah have many treasures.
    I will give these riches to other people.
They will not have to buy them,
    because Judah has many sins.
    The people sinned in every part of Judah.
¹⁴ People of Judah, I will make you slaves of your enemies.
    You will be slaves in a land that you never knew.
I am very angry.
    My anger is like a hot fire,
    and you will be burned.”
