Jeremiah 9:12-16
Legacy Standard Bible
12 Who is the (A)wise man that may understand this? And who is he to whom (B)the mouth of Yahweh has spoken, that he may declare it? (C)Why has the land perished, turned into ruin like a desert, so that no one passes through? 13 Yahweh said, “Because they have (D)forsaken My law, which I set before them, and have not listened to My voice nor walked according to it, 14 but have (E)walked after the stubbornness of their heart and after the (F)Baals, as their (G)fathers taught them,” 15 therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “behold, (H)I will feed them, this people, with wormwood and give them [a](I)poisoned water to drink. 16 I will (J)scatter them among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the (K)sword after them until I have consumed them.”

Jeremiah 9:12-16
American Standard Version
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken, that he may declare it? wherefore is the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that none passeth through? 13 And Jehovah saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein, 14 but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baalim, which their fathers taught them; 15 therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of [a]gall to drink. 16 I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them.
