Jeremiah 9:12-15

12Who is the 1wise person who may understand this? And who is he to whom 2the mouth of the Lord has spoken, that he may declare it? 3Why is the land destroyed, laid waste like the desert, so that no one passes through?

13The Lord said, “Because they have 4abandoned My Law which I put before them, and have not obeyed My voice nor walked according to it,

14but have 5followed the stubbornness of their heart and the 6Baals, 7as their 8fathers taught them,”

15therefore this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, 9I will feed this people wormwood; and I will give them 10poisoned water to drink.
