Jeremiah 9:16 BBE

¹⁴  But they have been walking in the pride of their hearts, going after the Baals, as their fathers gave them teaching.

¹⁵  So the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, I will give them, even this people, bitter plants for food and bitter water for drink.

¹⁶  And I will send them wandering among the nations, among people strange to them and to their fathers: and I will send the sword after them till I have put an end to them.

¹⁷  This is what the Lord of armies has said: Take thought and send for the weeping women, so that they may come; and send for the wise women, so that they may come:

¹⁸  Let them quickly make cries of sorrow for us, so that drops may be flowing from our eyes till they are streaming with water.
