Jeremiah 9:13-22 - The Nation Is Judged By Yahweh
13 And Jehovah says, Because they have forsaken My Law which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice, and have not walked in it, 14 but they have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them. 15 Therefore so says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and make them drink poisonous water. 16 I will also scatter them among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.
17 So says Jehovah of Hosts, Think carefully, and call for the wailers, that they may come. And send for the wise women, that they may come; 18 and let them make haste and take up a weeping for us, so that our eyes may run down with tears, and waters flow from our eyelids. 19 For a voice of weeping is heard out of Zion. How are we plundered! We are greatly ashamed, because we have forsaken the land, because they have thrown down our tents.
20 Yet hear the Word of Jehovah, O women, and let your ear receive the Word of His mouth, and teach your daughters to weep, and each one teach her neighbor to mourn. 21 For death has come up into our windows, and has entered into our houses, to cut off the children from outside and the young men from the streets.
22 Speak, So says Jehovah, Even the bodies of men shall fall as dung on the open field, and as the fallen grain after the reaper; and none shall gather them.
