13. The Lord said, “It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law.
14. Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts; they have followed the Baals, as their ancestors taught them.”
15. Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “See, I will make this people eat bitter food and drink poisoned water.
16. I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their ancestors have known, and I will pursue them with the sword until I have made an end of them.”
17. This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Consider now! Call for the wailing women to come; send for the most skillful of them.
18. Let them come quickly and wail over us till our eyes overflow with tears and water streams from our eyelids.
