Jeremiah 9:17

but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.”

Therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.

I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”

Let them make haste

and take up a wailing for us,

that our eyes may run down with tears

and our eyelids gush out with waters.

For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion,

‘How we are ruined!

We are greatly confounded

because we have forsaken the land,

because they have cast down our dwellings.’”

Yet hear the LORD’s word, you women.

Let your ear receive the word of his mouth.

Teach your daughters wailing.

Everyone teach her neighbor a lamentation.
