Jeremiah 9:12-22

12Who is the wiseH2450 manH376, that may understandH995 this? and who is he to whom the mouthH6310 of YhwhH3068 hath spokenH1696, that he may declareH5046 it, for what the landH776 perishethH6 and is burned upH3341 like a wildernessH4057, that none passeth throughH5674? 13And YhwhH3068 saithH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 my lawH8451 which I setH5414 beforeH6440 them, and have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, neither walkedH1980 therein; 14But have walkedH3212 afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their own heartH3820, and afterH310 BaalimH1168, which their fathersH1 taughtH3925 them:1 15Therefore thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will feedH398 them, even this peopleH5971, with wormwoodH3939, and give them waterH4325 of gallH7219 to drinkH8248. 16I will scatterH6327 them also among the heathenH1471, whom neither they nor their fathersH1 have knownH3045: and I will sendH7971 a swordH2719 afterH310 them, till I have consumedH3615 them.

17Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, ConsiderH995 ye, and callH7121 for the mourning womenH6969, that they may comeH935; and sendH7971 for cunningH2450 women, that they may comeH935: 18And let them make hasteH4116, and take upH5375 a wailingH5092 for us, that our eyesH5869 may run downH3381 with tearsH1832, and our eyelidsH6079 gush outH5140 with watersH4325. 19For a voiceH6963 of wailingH5092 is heardH8085 out of ZionH6726, How are we spoiledH7703! we are greatlyH3966 confoundedH954, because we have forsakenH5800 the landH776, because our dwellingsH4908 have cast us outH7993. 20Yet hearH8085 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, O ye womenH802, and let your earH241 receiveH3947 the wordH1697 of his mouthH6310, and teachH3925 your daughtersH1323 wailingH5092, and every oneH802 her neighbourH7468 lamentationH7015. 21For deathH4194 is come upH5927 into our windowsH2474, and is enteredH935 into our palacesH759, to cut offH3772 the childrenH5768 from withoutH2351, and the young menH970 from the streetsH7339. 22SpeakH1696, Thus saithH5002 YhwhH3068, Even the carcasesH5038 of menH120 shall fallH5307 as dungH1828 upon the openH6440 fieldH7704, and as the handfulH5995 afterH310 the harvestmanH7114, and none shall gatherH622 them.
