Jeremiah 9:9-16

9Shall I notH3808 visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall notH3808 my soul be avenged on suchH3808 a nation as this?

10For the mountains will I takeH5414 upH5414 a weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, becauseH1097 they are burned upH5414, soH5414 that none passeth through; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled, they are gone.

11And I will makeH5046 Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling placeH776 of jackals; and I will makeH5046 the cities of Judah a desolation, withoutH1097 inhabitant.

12Who is the wise man, that may understandH8085 this? and who is he to whomH834 the mouthH6440 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH559, that he may declare it? wherefore is the landH6440 and perished burned upH5921 like a wilderness, soH1980 that noneH3808 passeth throughH5921?

13And the LORD saith, BecauseH834 they have forsaken my law whichH834 I setH834 before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;

14but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baalim, whichH4325 their fathers taught them:

15therefore thusH3808 saith the LORD of hosts, the GodH3808 of Israel, BeholdH3808, I will feedH3615 them, evenH5704 this peopleH1471, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

16I will scatter them also among the nations, whomH7121 neither they norH413 their fathers have known: and I will sendH7971 the sword afterH413 them, till I have consumed them.
