Jeremiah 8:4--9:26

Moreover thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Shall they fall
<05307> (8799)_,
and not arise
<06965> (8799)_?
shall he turn away
<07725> (8799)_,
and not return
<07725> (8799)_?
Why [then] is this people
<05971>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
slidden back
<07725> (8790)
by a perpetual
<05329> (8737)
backsliding
<04878>_?
they hold
<02388> (8689)
fast deceit
<08649>_,
they refuse
<03985> (8765)
to return
<07725> (8800)_.
I hearkened
<07181> (8689)
and heard
<08085> (8799)_,
[but] they spake not aright
<01696> (8762)_:
no man
<0376>
repented
<05162> (8737)
him of
<05921>
his wickedness
<07451>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What have I done
<06213> (8804)_?
every one turned
<07725> (8804)
to his course
<04794>_,
as the horse
<05483>
rusheth
<07857> (8802)
into the battle
<04421>_.
Yea, the stork
<02624>
in the heaven
<08064>
knoweth
<03045> (8804)
her appointed times
<04150>_;
and the turtle
<08449>
and the crane
<05483>
and the swallow
<05693>
observe
<08104> (8804)
the time
<06256>
of their coming
<0935> (8800)_;
but my people
<05971>
know
<03045> (8804)
not the judgment
<04941>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
How do ye say
<0559> (8799)_,
We [are] wise
<02450>_,
and the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] with us? Lo, certainly
<0403>
in vain
<08267>
made
<06213> (8804)
he [it]; the pen
<05842>
of the scribes
<05608> (8802)
[is] in vain
<08267>_.
{in vain made...: or, the false pen of the scribes worketh for falsehood}
The wise
<02450>
[men] are ashamed
<03001> (8689)_,
they are dismayed
<02865> (8804)
and taken
<03920> (8735)_:
lo, they have rejected
<03988> (8804)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and what wisdom
<02451>
[is] in them? {The wise...: or, Have they been ashamed, etc} {what...: Heb. the wisdom of what thing}
Therefore will I give
<05414> (8799)
their wives
<0802>
unto others
<0312>_,
[and] their fields
<07704>
to them that shall inherit
<03423> (8802)
[them]: for every one from the least
<06996>
even unto the greatest
<01419>
is given
<01214> (8802)
to covetousness
<01215>_,
from the prophet
<05030>
even unto the priest
<03548>
every one dealeth
<06213> (8802)
falsely
<08267>_.
For they have healed
<07495> (8762)
the hurt
<07667>
of the daughter
<01323>
of my people
<05971>
slightly
<07043> (8738)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Peace
<07965>_,
peace
<07965>_;
when [there is] no peace
<07965>_.
Were they ashamed
<03001> (8689)
when they had committed
<06213> (8804)
abomination
<08441>_?
nay, they were not at all
<0954> (8800)
ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,
neither could
<03045> (8804)
they blush
<03637> (8736)_:
therefore shall they fall
<05307> (8799)
among them that fall
<05307> (8802)_:
in the time
<06256>
of their visitation
<06486>
they shall be cast down
<03782> (8735)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{I will...: or, In gathering I will consume}
I will surely
<0622> (8800)
consume
<05486> (8686)
them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
[there shall be] no grapes
<06025>
on the vine
<01612>_,
nor figs
<08384>
on the fig tree
<08384>_,
and the leaf
<05929>
shall fade
<05034> (8804)_;
and [the things that] I have given
<05414> (8799)
them shall pass away
<05674> (8799)
from them.
Why do we sit still
<03427> (8802)_?
assemble
<0622> (8734)
yourselves, and let us enter
<0935> (8799)
into the defenced
<04013>
cities
<05892>_,
and let us be silent
<01826> (8735)
there: for the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>
hath put us to silence
<01826> (8689)_,
and given us water
<04325>
of gall
<07219>
to drink
<08248> (8686)_,
because we have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_.
{gall: or, poison}
We looked
<06960> (8763)
for peace
<07965>_,
but no good
<02896>
[came; and] for a time
<06256>
of health
<04832>_,
and behold trouble
<01205>_!
The snorting
<05170>
of his horses
<05483>
was heard
<08085> (8738)
from Dan
<01835>_:
the whole land
<0776>
trembled
<07493> (8804)
at the sound
<06963>
of the neighing
<04684>
of his strong ones
<047>_;
for they are come
<0935> (8799)_,
and have devoured
<0398> (8799)
the land
<0776>_,
and all
<04393>
that is in it; the city
<05892>_,
and those that dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein. {all...: Heb. the fulness thereof}
For, behold, I will send
<07971> (8764)
serpents
<05175>_,
cockatrices
<06848>_,
among you, which [will] not [be] charmed
<03908>_,
and they shall bite
<05391> (8765)
you, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
[When] I would comfort
<04010>
myself against sorrow
<03015>_,
my heart
<03820>
[is] faint
<01742>
in me. {in: Heb. upon}
Behold the voice
<06963>
of the cry
<07775>
of the daughter
<01323>
of my people
<05971>
because of them that dwell in a far
<04801>
country
<0776>_:
[Is] not the LORD
<03068>
in Zion
<06726>_?
[is] not her king
<04428>
in her? Why have they provoked me to anger
<03707> (8689)
with their graven images
<06456>_,
[and] with strange
<05236>
vanities
<01892>_?
{them...: Heb. the country of them that are far off}
The harvest
<07105>
is past
<05674> (8804)_,
the summer
<07019>
is ended
<03615> (8804)_,
and we are not saved
<03467> (8738)_.
For the hurt
<07667>
of the daughter
<01323>
of my people
<05971>
am I hurt
<07665> (8717)_;
I am black
<06937> (8804)_;
astonishment
<08047>
hath taken hold
<02388> (8689)
on me.
[Is there] no balm
<06875>
in Gilead
<01568>_;
[is there] no physician
<07495> (8802)
there? why then
<03588>
is not the health
<0724>
of the daughter
<01323>
of my people
<05971>
recovered
<05927> (8804)_?
{recovered: Heb. gone up?}
Oh that
<05414> (8799)
my head
<07218>
were waters
<04325>_,
and mine eyes
<05869>
a fountain
<04726>
of tears
<01832>_,
that I might weep
<01058> (8799)
day
<03119>
and night
<03915>
for the slain
<02491>
of the daughter
<01323>
of my people
<05971>_!
{Oh...: Heb. Who will give my head, etc}
Oh that
<05414> (8799)
I had in the wilderness
<04057>
a lodging place
<04411>
of wayfaring men
<0732> (8802)_;
that I might leave
<05800> (8799)
my people
<05971>_,
and go
<03212> (8799)
from them! for they [be] all adulterers
<05003> (8764)_,
an assembly
<06116>
of treacherous men
<0898> (8802)_.
And they bend
<01869> (8686)
their tongues
<03956>
[like] their bow
<07198>
[for] lies
<08267>_:
but they are not valiant
<01396> (8804)
for the truth
<0530>
upon the earth
<0776>_;
for they proceed
<03318> (8804)
from evil
<07451>
to evil
<07451>_,
and they know
<03045> (8804)
not me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Take ye heed
<08104> (8734)
every one
<0376>
of his neighbour
<07453>_,
and trust
<0982> (8799)
ye not in any brother
<0251>_:
for every brother
<0251>
will utterly
<06117> (8800)
supplant
<06117> (8799)_,
and every neighbour
<07453>
will walk
<01980> (8799)
with slanders
<07400>_.
{neighbour: or, friend}
And they will deceive
<02048> (8762)
every one
<0376>
his neighbour
<07453>_,
and will not speak
<01696> (8762)
the truth
<0571>_:
they have taught
<03925> (8765)
their tongue
<03956>
to speak
<01696> (8763)
lies
<08267>_,
[and] weary
<03811> (8738)
themselves to commit iniquity
<05753> (8687)_.
{deceive: or, mock}
Thine habitation
<03427> (8800)
[is] in the midst
<08432>
of deceit
<04820>_;
through deceit
<04820>
they refuse
<03985> (8765)
to know
<03045> (8800)
me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
Behold, I will melt
<06884> (8802)
them, and try
<0974> (8804)
them; for how shall I do
<06213> (8799)
for
<06440>
the daughter
<01323>
of my people
<05971>_?
Their tongue
<03956>
[is as] an arrow
<02671>
shot out
<07819> (8803)_;
it speaketh
<01696> (8765)
deceit
<04820>_:
[one] speaketh
<01696> (8762)
peaceably
<07965>
to his neighbour
<07453>
with his mouth
<06310>_,
but in heart
<07130>
he layeth
<07760> (8799)
his wait
<0696>_.
{in heart: Heb. in the midst of him} {his wait: or, wait for him}
Shall I not visit
<06485> (8799)
them for these [things]? saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
shall not my soul
<05315>
be avenged
<05358> (8691)
on such a nation
<01471>
as this?
For the mountains
<02022>
will I take up
<05375> (8799)
a weeping
<01065>
and wailing
<05092>_,
and for the habitations
<04999>
of the wilderness
<04057>
a lamentation
<07015>_,
because they are burned up
<03341> (8738)_,
so that none
<0376>
can pass
<05674> (8802)
through [them]; neither can [men] hear
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of the cattle
<04735>_;
both the fowl
<05775>
of the heavens
<08064>
and the beast
<0929>
are fled
<05074> (8804)_;
they are gone
<01980> (8804)_.
{habitations: or, pastures} {burned up: or, desolate} {both...: Heb. from the fowl even to, etc}
And I will make
<05414> (8804)
Jerusalem
<03389>
heaps
<01530>_,
[and] a den
<04583>
of dragons
<08577>_;
and I will make
<05414> (8799)
the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>
desolate
<08077>_,
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
{desolate: Heb. desolation}
Who [is] the wise
<02450>
man
<0376>_,
that may understand
<0995> (8799)
this? and [who is he] to whom the mouth
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_,
that he may declare
<05046> (8686)
it, for what the land
<0776>
perisheth
<06> (8804)
[and] is burned up
<03341> (8738)
like a wilderness
<04057>_,
that none passeth through
<05674> (8802)_?
And the LORD
<03068>
saith
<0559> (8799)_,
Because they have forsaken
<05800> (8800)
my law
<08451>
which I set
<05414> (8804)
before
<06440>
them, and have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)
my voice
<06963>_,
neither walked
<01980> (8804)
therein;
But have walked
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
the imagination
<08307>
of their own heart
<03820>_,
and after
<0310>
Baalim
<01168>_,
which their fathers
<01>
taught
<03925> (8765)
them: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Behold, I will feed
<0398> (8688)
them, [even] this people
<05971>_,
with wormwood
<03939>_,
and give them water
<04325>
of gall
<07219>
to drink
<08248> (8689)_.
I will scatter
<06327> (8689)
them also among the heathen
<01471>_,
whom neither they nor their fathers
<01>
have known
<03045> (8804)_:
and I will send
<07971> (8765)
a sword
<02719>
after
<0310>
them, till I have consumed
<03615> (8763)
them.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
Consider
<0995> (8708)
ye, and call
<07121> (8798)
for the mourning women
<06969> (8789)_,
that they may come
<0935> (8799)_;
and send
<07971> (8798)
for cunning
<02450>
[women], that they may come
<0935> (8799)_:
And let them make haste
<04116> (8762)_,
and take up
<05375> (8799)
a wailing
<05092>
for us, that our eyes
<05869>
may run down
<03381> (8799)
with tears
<01832>_,
and our eyelids
<06079>
gush out
<05140> (8799)
with waters
<04325>_.
For a voice
<06963>
of wailing
<05092>
is heard
<08085> (8738)
out of Zion
<06726>_,
How are we spoiled
<07703> (8795)_!
we are greatly
<03966>
confounded
<0954> (8804)_,
because we have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
the land
<0776>_,
because our dwellings
<04908>
have cast [us] out
<07993> (8689)_.
Yet hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
O ye women
<0802>_,
and let your ear
<0241>
receive
<03947> (8799)
the word
<01697>
of his mouth
<06310>_,
and teach
<03925> (8761)
your daughters
<01323>
wailing
<05092>_,
and every one
<0802>
her neighbour
<07468>
lamentation
<07015>_.
For death
<04194>
is come up
<05927> (8804)
into our windows
<02474>_,
[and] is entered
<0935> (8804)
into our palaces
<0759>_,
to cut off
<03772> (8687)
the children
<05768>
from without
<02351>_,
[and] the young men
<0970>
from the streets
<07339>_.
Speak
<01696> (8761)_,
Thus saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Even the carcases
<05038>
of men
<0120>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)
as dung
<01828>
upon the open
<06440>
field
<07704>_,
and as the handful
<05995>
after
<0310>
the harvestman
<07114> (8802)_,
and none shall gather
<0622> (8764)
[them].
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Let not the wise
<02450>
[man] glory
<01984> (8691)
in his wisdom
<02451>_,
neither let the mighty
<01368>
[man] glory
<01984> (8691)
in his might
<01369>_,
let not the rich
<06223>
[man] glory
<01984> (8691)
in his riches
<06239>_:
But let him that glorieth
<01984> (8693)
glory
<01984> (8691)
in this, that he understandeth
<07919> (8687)
and knoweth
<03045> (8800)
me, that I [am] the LORD
<03068>
which exercise
<06213> (8802)
lovingkindness
<02617>_,
judgment
<04941>_,
and righteousness
<06666>_,
in the earth
<0776>_:
for in these [things] I delight
<02654> (8804)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will punish
<06485> (8804)
all [them which are] circumcised
<04135> (8803)
with the uncircumcised
<06190>_;
{punish: Heb. visit upon}
Egypt
<04714>_,
and Judah
<03063>_,
and Edom
<0123>_,
and the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and Moab
<04124>_,
and all [that are] in the utmost
<07112> (8803)
corners
<06285>_,
that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the wilderness
<04057>_:
for all [these] nations
<01471>
[are] uncircumcised
<06189>_,
and all the house
