Jeremiah 8:14

Why are we sitting here? [Jer. 4:5; 9:15; 23:15]
Let us gather together
and go into the fortified cities
and let us be cut off (cut down) there [let us die fighting],
because the Lord our God (Yahweh Elohim) has cut us off (cut us down) [condemned us to death]
and given us gall to drink,
because we have sinned against the Lord (Yahweh).
