Jeremiah 9:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ Instead, they ·were stubborn [^Lwalked after their stubborn hearts] and ·followed [^Lwalked after] the Baals, as their ·ancestors [fathers] taught them to do.” ¹⁵ So this is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts], the God of Israel, says: “I will soon make the people of Judah eat ·bitter food [^Lwormwood; ^Cthe bitter tasting leaves of a shrub] and drink poisoned water. ¹⁶ I will scatter them through other nations that they and their ·ancestors [fathers] never knew about. I will ·chase [pursue; ^Lsend after] them [^Cthe people of Judah] with the sword until they are all ·killed [consumed; finished].”
