Jeremiah 5:14

Therefore, says the Lord (Yahweh), God of hosts (Elohim Tzevaot):
Because [since you behave like ostriches] you speak these words,
behold, I will make the words in your mouth a fire
and this people wood, and it (the fire) shall devour them.
[The word jaan used here means both "because" and "to consider," but it also shares a root with the word for ostrich and therefore also refers to the ostrich's behavior of sticking its head in the sand.]
