## Jeremiah 9:17-18 in Context (Verses 14–21 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/jeremiah/9/14) But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/jeremiah/9/15) 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.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/jeremiah/9/16) I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/jeremiah/9/17) ¶ Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning *women*, that they may come:
 
 [18 ](/kjv/jeremiah/9/18) 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 waters.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/jeremiah/9/19) For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast *us* out.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/jeremiah/9/20) Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/jeremiah/9/21) For death is come up into our windows, *and* is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, *and* the young men from the streets.
 
[Jeremiah 8](/kjv/jeremiah/8) [Jeremiah 10](/kjv/jeremiah/10)
