14 but they have awalked according to the dictates of their own hearts and after the Baals, bwhich their fathers taught them,”
15 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will afeed them, this people, bwith wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16 I will ascatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. bAnd I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.”
The People Mourn in Judgment
17 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Consider and call for athe mourning women,
That they may come;
And send for skillful wailing women,
That they may come.
“Consider and call for athe mourning women,
That they may come;
And send for skillful wailing women,
That they may come.
18 Let them make haste
And take up a wailing for us,
That aour eyes may run with tears,
And our eyelids gush with water.
And take up a wailing for us,
That aour eyes may run with tears,
And our eyelids gush with water.
