Jeremiah 9:12-16

The Reason for the Land's Desolation

Jeremiah 9:12-16
12
Who is wise enough to understand this? To whom has the mouth of ADONAI spoken, so that he can proclaim it? Why has the land perished and been laid waste like a desert, so that no one passes through?
13
ADONAI answers: "Because they abandoned my Torah, which I set before them, and neither listened to what I said nor lived accordingly,
14
but have lived by their own hearts' stubbornness and by the ba'alim, as their ancestors taught them
15
therefore," says ADONAI-Tzva'ot, the God of Isra'el: "I will feed this people bitter wormwood and give them poisonous water to drink.
16
I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their ancestors have known. I will send the sword after them until I have wiped them out."
