Jeremiah 9:15 in context

  1. 13Yahweh says, “Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in my ways,
  2. 14but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.”
  3. 15Therefore Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.
  4. 16I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”
  5. 17Yahweh of Armies says,
    “Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come.
    Send for the skillful women, that they may come.
