13. And the Lord says, Because they have forsaken My law, which I set before them, and have not listened to and obeyed My voice or walked in accordance with it
14. But have walked stubbornly after their own hearts and after the Baals, as their fathers taught them,
15. Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood and give them bitter and poisonous water to drink.
16. I will scatter them also among nations that neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will send the sword among them and after them until I have consumed them.
17. Thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider and call for the mourning women to come; send for the skillful women to come.
18. Let them make haste and raise a wailing over us and for us, that our eyes may run down with tears and our eyelids gush with water.
19. For a sound of wailing is heard [coming] out of Zion: How we are plundered and ruined! We are greatly confounded and utterly put to shame, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings [our dwellings that have cast us out].
