Jeremiah 9:14-16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ but have stubbornly followed their own hearts and have gone after the Ba′als, as their fathers taught them. ¹⁵ Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed this people with wormwood, and give them poisonous water to drink. ¹⁶ I will scatter them among the nations whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”
