Jeremiah 9:13-15

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ And the Lord says: “Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, or walked in accord with it, ¹⁴ but have stubbornly followed their own hearts and have gone after the Ba′als, as their fathers taught them. ¹⁵ Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed this people with wormwood, and give them poisonous water to drink.
