Jeremiah 9:12-14

Complete Jewish Bible

^12 (13) Adonai answers:

“Because they abandoned my Torah,
which I set before them,
and neither listened to what I said
nor lived accordingly,
^13 (14) but have lived by their own hearts’ stubbornness
and by the ba‘alim, as their ancestors taught them —
^14 (15) therefore,” says Adonai-Tzva’ot,
the God of Isra’el:
“I will feed this people bitter wormwood
and give them poisonous water to drink.
