Jeremiah 9:10I will take up a weeping and wailing for the mountains, a dirge over the wilderness pasture, for they have been scorched so no one passes through, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. Both the birds of the air and the beasts have fled; they have gone away.Jeremiah 9:11“And I will make Jerusalem a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”Jeremiah 9:12Who is the man wise enough to understand this? To whom has the mouth of the LORD spoken, that he may explain it? Why is the land destroyed and scorched like a desert, so no one can pass through it?Jeremiah 9:13And the LORD answered, “It is because they have forsaken My law, which I set before them; they have not walked in it or obeyed My voice.Jeremiah 9:14Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts and gone after the Baals, as their fathers taught them.”Jeremiah 9:15Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will feed this people wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.Jeremiah 9:16I will scatter them among the nations that neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will send a sword after them until I have finished them off.”Jeremiah 9:17This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Take note, and summon the wailing women; send for the most skillful among them.Jeremiah 9:18Let them come quickly and take up a lament over us, that our eyes may overflow with tears, and our eyelids may gush with water.Jeremiah 9:19For the sound of wailing is heard from Zion: ‘How devastated we are!

I will allow no mercy or pity or compassion to keep Me from destroying them.’”Jeremiah 14:18If I go out to the country, I see those slain by the sword; if I enter the city, I see those ravaged by famine! For both prophet and priest travel to a land they do not know.’”Jeremiah 15:8I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. I will bring a destroyer at noon against the mothers of young men. I will suddenly bring upon them anguish and dismay.Jeremiah 15:9The mother of seven will grow faint; she will breathe her last breath.

They will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like dung lying on the ground.Jeremiah 46:3“Deploy your shields, small and large; advance for battle!Jeremiah 46:4Harness the horses; mount the steeds; take your positions with helmets on!

Race furiously, O chariots! Let the warriors come forth—Cush and Put carrying their shields, men of Lydia drawing the bow.Jeremiah 46:10For that day belongs to the Lord GOD of Hosts, a day of vengeance against His foes.

They too will turn back; together they will flee, they will not stand their ground, for the day of calamity is coming upon them—the time of their punishment.Jeremiah 47:3at the sound of the galloping hooves of stallions, the rumbling of chariots, and the clatter of their wheels.
