5:12-13 Even with the enemy looming on the northern horizon, the people thought that nothing bad would happen to them (14:13; Isa 47:8). They did not respect God’s prophets (literally the prophets) either. • Some interpreters end the people’s quote with Jer 5:12 and attribute 5:13 to the Lord. The windbags would then refer to false prophets.
