Who is the wise man that can understand this? And he to whom the mouth of Jehovah has spoken, that he may declare it? Why does the land perish? It is burned up like the wilderness, so that no one passes through.

And Jehovah says, Because they have forsaken My Law which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice, and have not walked in it;

but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them;

so Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, says this: Behold, I will feed them, this people with wormwood, and make them drink poison waters.

I will also scatter them among the nations which they have not known, nor their fathers. And I will send the sword after them until I have consumed them.
