¹⁵ Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.

¹⁴ Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord.

¹⁵ Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

¹⁵ He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.

⁵ He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.

²¹ They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

¹¹ And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

³⁴ They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

¹⁹ Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
