Jeremiah 9:12-14 (9:11) Who is the wise man, that he may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it? Wherefore is the land perished and laid waste like a wilderness, so that none passeth through?

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² (9:11) Who is the wise man, that he may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it? Wherefore is the land perished and laid waste like a wilderness, so that none passeth through? ¹³ (9:12) And the LORD saith: Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have not hearkened to My voice, neither walked therein; ¹⁴ (9:13) But have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baalim, which their fathers taught them.
