Jeremiah 9:13-20 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

13. And the LORD says,

14. But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:

15. Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;

16. I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.

17. Thus says the LORD of hosts,

18. And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with water.

19. For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we plundered! we are greatly ashamed, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.

20. Yet hear the word of the LORD, O you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and everyone her neighbor lamentation.
