The King James Version Bible

Jeremiah 9:13-16

  1. And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;

  2. But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:

  3. 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.

  4. I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.
