24:009:006 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit
           they refuse to know me, saith the lord.

24:009:007 Therefore thus saith the lord of hosts, Behold, I will melt
           them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my
           people?

24:009:008 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit:  one
           speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in
           heart he layeth his wait.

24:009:009 Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the lord:  shall
           not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

24:009:010 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and
           for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because
           they are burned up, so that none can pass through them;
           neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of
           the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.

24:009:011 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I
           will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.

24:009:012 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?

24:009:013 And the lord saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I
           set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked
           therein;

24:009:014 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and
           after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: 

24:009:015 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.

24:009:016 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.

24:009:017 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: 

24:009:018 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.

24:009:019 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.

24:009:020 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.
