Jeremiah 9:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ The Lord answered, “It is because Judah ·quit following [abandoned; forsook] my ·teachings [laws; instructions] that I gave them. They have not ·obeyed me [^Llistened to my voice] or ·done what I told them to do [^Lwalked in it]. ¹⁴ Instead, they ·were stubborn [^Lwalked after their stubborn hearts] and ·followed [^Lwalked after] the Baals, as their ·ancestors [fathers] taught them to do.” ¹⁵ So this is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts], the God of Israel, says: “I will soon make the people of Judah eat ·bitter food [^Lwormwood; ^Cthe bitter tasting leaves of a shrub] and drink poisoned water.
