Jeremiah 9

1 ♥ 📝 O h 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

2 ♥ 📝 Oh 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

3 ♥ 📝 And 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

4 ♥ 📝 Take 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

5 ♥ 📝 And 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

6 ♥ 📝 Thy habitation^H3427 is in the midst^H8432 of deceit;^H4820 through deceit^H4820 they refuse^H3985 to know^H3045 me, saith^H5002 Jehovah.^H3068

7 ♥ 📝 Therefore 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

8 ♥ 📝 Their 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.

9 ♥ 📝 Shall 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?

10 ♥ 📝 For 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

11 ♥ 📝 And 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

12 ♥ 📝 Who 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

13 ♥ 📝 And 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,

14 ♥ 📝 but 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;

15 ♥ 📝 therefore 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

16 ♥ 📝 I 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.

17 ♥ 📝 Thus 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

18 ♥ 📝 and 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

19 ♥ 📝 For 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

20 ♥ 📝 Yet 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

21 ♥ 📝 For 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

22 ♥ 📝 Speak,^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].

23 ♥ 📝 Thus 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

24 ♥ 📝 but 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

25 ♥ 📝 Behold, the days^H3117 come,^H935 saith^H5002 Jehovah,^H3068 that I will punish^H6485 all them that are circumcised^H4135 in [their] uncircumcision:^H6190

26 ♥ 📝 Egypt,^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
