Jeremiah 8:14 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 14 “Why are we sitting here? Let us gather together and enter the fortified cities+ and perish there. For Jehovah our God will do away with us,And he gives us poisoned water to drink,+Because we have sinned against Jehovah. Jeremiah 23:15 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 15 Therefore this is what Jehovah of armies says against the prophets: “Here I am making them eat wormwoodAnd giving them poisoned water to drink.+ For from the prophets of Jerusalem apostasy has spread throughout the land.” Lamentations 3:15 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 15 He has filled me with bitter things and saturated me with wormwood.+ Lamentations 3:19 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 19 Remember my affliction and my homeless state,+ the wormwood and the bitter poison.+
