TSK · Jeremiah 4:18

They acted like fools in their rebellious ways, and suffered because of their sins.

The wicked will be captured by his own iniquities, and he will be held by the cords of his own sin.

You have brought all this on yourself, Israel, by deserting the LORD your God when he was leading you along the right path.

“So then, Jeremiah, when your people ask,‘Why has the LORD our God done all this to us?’ tell them,‘It is because you rejected me and served foreign gods in your own land. So you must serve foreigners in a land that does not belong to you.’

The people to whom they are prophesying will die through war and famine. Their bodies will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem and there will be no one to bury them. This will happen to the men and their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out on them the destruction they deserve.”

He has given me my fill of bitter herbs and made me drunk with bitterness.
