Jeremiah 9
King James Version Help
9Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!H5414H7218H4325H5869H4726H1832H1058H3119H3915H2491H1323H5971
2Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.H5414H4057H4411H732H5800H5971H3212H5003H6116H898
3And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.H1869H3956H7198H8267H1396H530H776H3318H7451H7451H3045H5002H3068
4Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.H8104H376H7453H982H251H251H6117H6117H7453H1980H7400
5And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.H2048H376H7453H1696H571H3925H3956H1696H8267H3811H5753
6Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.H3427H8432H4820H4820H3985H3045H5002H3068
7Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?H559H3068H6635H6884H974H6213H6440H1323H5971
8Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.H3956H2671H7819H1696H4820H1696H7965H7453H6310H7130H7760H696
9Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?H6485H5002H3068H5315H5358H1471
10For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.H2022H5375H1065H5092H4999H4057H7015H3341H376H5674H8085H6963H4735H5775H8064H929H5074H1980
11And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.H5414H3389H1530H4583H8577H5414H5892H3063H8077H3427
12Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?H2450H376H995H6310H3068H1696H5046H776H6H3341H4057H5674
13And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;H3068H559H5800H8451H5414H6440H8085H6963H1980
14But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:H3212H310H8307H3820H310H1168H1H3925
15Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H398H5971H3939H4325H7219H8248
16I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.H6327H1471H1H3045H7971H2719H310H3615
17Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:H559H3068H6635H995H7121H6969H935H7971H2450H935
18And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.H4116H5375H5092H5869H3381H1832H6079H5140H4325
19For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.H6963H5092H8085H6726H7703H3966H954H5800H776H4908H7993
20Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.H8085H1697H3068H802H241H3947H1697H6310H3925H1323H5092H802H7468H7015
21For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.H4194H5927H2474H935H759H3772H5768H2351H970H7339
22Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.H1696H5002H3068H5038H120H5307H1828H6440H7704H5995H310H7114H622
23Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:H559H3068H2450H1984H2451H1368H1984H1369H6223H1984H6239
24But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.H1984H1984H7919H3045H3068H6213H2617H4941H6666H776H2654H5002H3068
25Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;H3117H935H5002H3068H6485H4135H6190
26Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.H4714H3063H123H1121H5983H4124H7112H6285H3427H4057H1471H6189H1004H3478H6189H3820
