Jeremiah

Jeremiah 08

14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord.

Jeremiah 09

12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth (of the Lord) hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up [like] a wilderness, that none passeth through?

13 And the Lord saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;

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

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord (of hosts, the God of Israel); Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water (of gall) to drink.

Jeremiah 23

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord (of hosts) concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water (of gall): for from the prophets (of Jerusalem) is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
