Jeremiah 9:15-17
International Standard Version
15 Therefore, this is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Look, I’ll make these people eat wormwood[a] and drink poisoned water. 16 I’ll scatter them among nations that neither they nor their ancestors have known, and I’ll pursue them with the sword until I’ve finished them off.”
A Call to Lament
17 This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says:
“Think about what I’m saying![b]
Indeed, call out the professional mourners![c]
Send for the best of them to come.
