Jeremías 9

1Oh that^H5414 my head^H7218 were waters^H4325, and mine eyes^H5869 a fountain^H4726 of tears^H1832, that I might weep^H1058 day^H3119 and night^H3915 for the slain^H2491 of the daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971! 2Oh that^H5414 I had in the wilderness^H4057 a lodging-place^H4411 of wayfaring men^H732; that I might leave^H5800 my people^H5971, and go^H3212 from them! for they are all adulterers^H5003, an assembly^H6116 of treacherous men^H898. 3And they bend^H1869 their tongue^H3956, as it were their bow^H7198, for falsehood^H8267; and they are grown strong^H1396 in the land^H776, but not for truth^H530: for they proceed^H3318 from evil^H7451 to evil^H7451, and they know^H3045 not me, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 4Take ye heed^H8104 every one^H376 of his neighbor^H7453, and trust^H982 ye not in any brother^H251; for every brother^H251 will utterly^H6117 supplant^H6117, and every neighbor^H7453 will go^H1980 about with slanders^H7400. 5And they will deceive^H2048 every one^H376 his neighbor^H7453, and will not speak^H1696 the truth^H571: they have taught^H3925 their tongue^H3956 to speak^H1696 lies^H8267; they weary^H3811 themselves to commit iniquity^H5753. 6Thy habitation^H3427 is in the midst^H8432 of deceit^H4820; through deceit^H4820 they refuse^H3985 to know^H3045 me, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 7Therefore thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, Behold, I will melt^H6884 them, and try^H974 them; for how else should I do^H6213, because^H6440 of the daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971? 8Their tongue^H3956 is a deadly^H7819 arrow^H2671; it speaketh^H1696 deceit^H4820: one speaketh^H1696 peaceably^H7965 to his neighbor^H7453 with his mouth^H6310, but in his heart^H7130 he layeth^H7760 wait^H696 for him. 9Shall I not visit^H6485 them for these things? saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068; shall not my soul^H5315 be avenged^H5358 on such a nation^H1471 as this? 10For the mountains^H2022 will I take up^H5375 a weeping^H1065 and wailing^H5092, and for the pastures^H4999 of the wilderness^H4057 a lamentation^H7015, because they are burned up^H3341, so that none^H376 passeth^H5674 through; neither can men hear^H8085 the voice^H6963 of the cattle^H4735; both the birds^H5775 of the heavens^H8064 and the beasts^H929 are fled^H5074, they are gone^H1980. 11And I will make^H5414 Jerusalem^H3389 heaps^H1530, a dwelling-place^H4583 of jackals^H8577; and I will make^H5414 the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 a desolation^H8077, without inhabitant^H3427. 12Who is the wise^H2450 man^H376, that may understand^H995 this? and who is he to whom the mouth^H6310 of Jehovah^H3068 hath spoken^H1696, that he may declare^H5046 it? wherefore is the land^H776 perished^H6 and burned up^H3341 like a wilderness^H4057, so that none passeth through^H5674? 13And Jehovah^H3068 saith^H559, Because they have forsaken^H5800 my law^H8451 which I set^H5414 before^H6440 them, and have not obeyed^H8085 my voice^H6963, neither walked^H1980 therein, 14but have walked^H3212 after^H310 the stubbornness^H8307 of their own heart^H3820, and after^H310 the Baalim^H1168, which their fathers^H1 taught^H3925 them; 15therefore thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478, Behold, I will feed^H398 them, even this people^H5971, with wormwood^H3939, and give them water^H4325 of gall^H7219 to drink^H8248. 16I will scatter^H6327 them also among the nations^H1471, whom neither they nor their fathers^H1 have known^H3045; and I will send^H7971 the sword^H2719 after^H310 them, till I have consumed^H3615 them. 17Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, Consider^H995 ye, and call^H7121 for the mourning women^H6969, that they may come^H935; and send^H7971 for the skilful^H2450 women, that they may come^H935: 18and let them make haste^H4116, and take up^H5375 a wailing^H5092 for us, that our eyes^H5869 may run down^H3381 with tears^H1832, and our eyelids^H6079 gush out^H5140 with waters^H4325. 19For a voice^H6963 of wailing^H5092 is heard^H8085 out of Zion^H6726, How are we ruined^H7703! we are greatly^H3966 confounded^H954, because we have forsaken^H5800 the land^H776, because they have cast down^H7993 our dwellings^H4908. 20Yet hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068, O ye women^H802, and let your ear^H241 receive^H3947 the word^H1697 of his mouth^H6310; and teach^H3925 your daughters^H1323 wailing^H5092, and every one^H802 her neighbor^H7468 lamentation^H7015. 21For death^H4194 is come up^H5927 into our windows^H2474, it is entered^H935 into our palaces^H759; to cut off^H3772 the children^H5768 from without^H2351, and the young men^H970 from the streets^H7339. 22Speak^H1696, Thus saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068, The dead bodies^H5038 of men^H120 shall fall^H5307 as dung^H1828 upon the open^H6440 field^H7704, and as the handful^H5995 after^H310 the harvestman^H7114; and none shall gather^H622 them. 23Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068, Let not the wise^H2450 man glory^H1984 in his wisdom^H2451, neither let the mighty^H1368 man glory^H1984 in his might^H1369, let not the rich^H6223 man glory^H1984 in his riches^H6239; 24but let him that glorieth^H1984 glory^H1984 in this, that he hath understanding^H7919, and knoweth^H3045 me, that I am Jehovah^H3068 who exerciseth^H6213 lovingkindness^H2617, justice^H4941, and righteousness^H6666, in the earth^H776: for in these things I delight^H2654, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 25Behold, the days^H3117 come^H935, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068, that I will punish^H6485 all them that are circumcised^H4135 in their uncircumcision^H6190: 26Egypt^H4714, and Judah^H3063, and Edom^H123, and the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983, and Moab^H4124, and all that have the corners^H6285 of their hair cut off^H7112, that dwell^H3427 in the wilderness^H4057; for all the nations^H1471 are uncircumcised^H6189, and all the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 are uncircumcised^H6189 in heart^H3820.
