Jeremiah 9:13-15

EasyEnglish Bible

¹³ The Lord answered, ‘It is because my people have not accepted the laws that I gave to them. They have not obeyed me. They have not lived in the way that I told them to live. ¹⁴ Instead, they have done whatever they wanted to do. They have served the gods of Baal, as their ancestors taught them to do.’ ¹⁵ So the Lord Almighty, Israel's God, says this: ‘I will punish my people with trouble and pain. I will give them food that is bitter. They will drink water that is poison.
