Jerยรม Jeremiahเยเรมียาห์, chapterบทที่ Book of Jeremiahเยเรมียาห์, chapterบทที่ 8

Why do we sit still?

Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities,

and let us perish there;

for Hashem Eloheinu hath made us to perish,

and given us mey rosh (poisonous water) to drink,

because we have sinned against Hashem.
