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
English Standard Version
12 (A)Who is the man so wise that he can understand this? To whom has the mouth of the Lord spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined (B)and laid waste like a wilderness, so that no one passes through? 13 And the Lord says: (C)“Because they have forsaken my law that I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in accord with it, 14 but (D)have stubbornly followed their own hearts and have gone after the Baals, as their fathers taught them. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (E)Behold, I will feed this people with bitter food, and give them (F)poisonous water to drink. 16 (G)I will scatter them among the nations (H)whom neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will (I)send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”
