Jeremiah 9:13-16

New King James Version

¹³And the Lord said, “Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have ^(A)not obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it, ¹⁴but they have ^(B)walked according to the ^[a]dictates of their own hearts and after the Baals, ^(C)which their fathers taught them,” ¹⁵therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will ^(D)feed them, this people, ^(E)with wormwood, and give them ^[b]water of gall to drink. ¹⁶I will ^(F)scatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. ^(G)And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.”

Jeremiah 23:13-15

New King James Version

¹³“And I have seen ^[a]folly in the prophets of Samaria:
^(A)They prophesied by Baal
And ^(B)caused My people Israel to err.
¹⁴Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem:
^(C)They commit adultery and walk in lies;
They also ^(D)strengthen the hands of evildoers,
So that no one turns back from his wickedness.
All of them are like ^(E)Sodom to Me,
And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.

¹⁵“Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:

‘Behold, I will feed them with ^(F)wormwood,
And make them drink the water of gall;
For from the prophets of Jerusalem
^[b]Profaneness has gone out into all the land.’ ”

New King James Version

¹⁵^(A)He has filled me with bitterness,
He has made me drink wormwood.

¹⁶He has also broken my teeth ^(B)with gravel,
And ^[a]covered me with ashes.
¹⁷You have moved my soul far from peace;
I have forgotten ^[b]prosperity.
¹⁸^(C)And I said, “My strength and my hope
Have perished from the Lord.”
