The question why the land has perished, and the LORD’s word: “I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood”
이 땅이 어찌하여 멸망하였느냐는 물음과 그들에게 쑥을 먹이리라는 여호와의 말씀
Jeremiah 9:12–16: the text says, “Who is wise enough to understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it? Why has the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?” The LORD says, “Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in my ways, but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.” Therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink. I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.” The Korean Revised Version gives 9:15 in the LORD’s first person (만군의 여호와 이스라엘의 하나님 내가 말하노라, I, the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, say) and does not close his words at 9:14.

12Who is wise enough to understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it? Why has the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?
13The LORD says, “Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in my ways,
14but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.”
