14. Instead, they have followed their own willful hearts and have gone after the Baals, as their ancestors taught them.

15. Therefore, this is what the Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, says: I’m going to feed this people bitter food and give them poison to drink.

16. I will scatter them among nations about whom neither they nor their ancestors have ever heard. I will pursue them with the sword until all are gone.

17. The Lord of heavenly forces proclaims:Pay attention!Summon the women who mourn,let them come;send for those best trained,let them come.
