Therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.
I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known.
I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”
The LORD of Armies says, “Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come.
Send for the skillful women, that they may come.
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 waters.
