Jeremiah 9:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ Instead, they followed their rebellious hearts and the Baals,^[a] as their ancestors taught them.”

¹⁵ Therefore, this is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Look, I’ll make these people eat wormwood^[b] and drink poisoned water. ¹⁶ I’ll scatter them among nations that neither they nor their ancestors have known, and I’ll pursue them with the sword until I’ve finished them off.”
