^{14 Ref} And they walk after the stubbornness of their heart, And after the Baalim, that their fathers taught them,

^{15 Ref} Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am causing them -- this people -- to eat wormwood, And I have caused them to drink water of gall,

^{16 Ref} And I have scattered them among nations Which they knew not, they and their fathers, And have sent after them the sword, Till I have consumed them.
