He attacked and surrounded me with hardships and trouble;
God has me trapped with a wall of darkness
Enemies poisoned my food, and when I was thirsty, they gave me vinegar.
You prophets in Jerusalem have spread evil everywhere. That's why I, the LORD, promise to give you bitter poison to eat and drink.
The people of Judah say to each other, “What are we waiting for? Let's run to a town with walls and die there. We rebelled against the LORD, and we were sentenced to die by drinking poison.
So I, the LORD All-Powerful, the God of Israel, promise them poison to eat and drink.
Just thinking of my troubles and my lonely wandering makes me miserable.
When you see Jerusalem surrounded by soldiers, you will know that it will soon be destroyed.
