Jeremiah 9 (kjv)

Oh 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 be all adulterers^H5003, an assembly^H6116 of treacherous men^H898.³And they bend^H1869 their tongues^H3956 like their bow^H7198 for lies^H8267: but they are not valiant^H1396 for the truth^H530 upon the earth^H776; for they proceed^H3318 from evil^H7451 to evil^H7451, and they know^H3045 not me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.⁴Take ye heed^H8104 every one^H376 of his neighbour^H7453, and trust^H982 ye not in any brother^H251: for every brother^H251 will utterly^H6117 supplant^H6117, and every neighbour^H7453 will walk^H1980 with slanders^H7400.⁵And they will deceive^H2048 every one^H376 his neighbour^H7453, and will not speak^H1696 the truth^H571: they have taught^H3925 their tongue^H3956 to speak^H1696 lies^H8267, and weary^H3811 themselves to commit iniquity^H5753.⁶Thine habitation^H3427 is in the midst^H8432 of deceit^H4820; through deceit^H4820 they refuse^H3985 to know^H3045 me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.⁷Therefore thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, Behold, I will melt^H6884 them, and try^H974 them; for how shall I do^H6213 for^H6440 the daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971?⁸Their tongue^H3956 is as an arrow^H2671 shot out^H7819; it speaketh^H1696 deceit^H4820: one speaketh^H1696 peaceably^H7965 to his neighbour^H7453 with his mouth^H6310, but in heart^H7130 he layeth^H7760 his wait^H696.

⁹Shall I not visit^H6485 them for these things? saith^H5002 the LORD^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 habitations^H4999 of the wilderness^H4057 a lamentation^H7015, because they are burned up^H3341, so that none^H376 can pass^H5674 through them; neither can men hear^H8085 the voice^H6963 of the cattle^H4735; both the fowl^H5775 of the heavens^H8064 and the beast^H929 are fled^H5074; they are gone^H1980.¹¹And I will make^H5414 Jerusalem^H3389 heaps^H1530, and a den^H4583 of dragons^H8577; and I will make^H5414 the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 desolate^H8077, without an inhabitant^H3427.

¹²Who is the wise^H2450 man^H376, that may understand^H995 this? and who is he to whom the mouth^H6310 of the LORD^H3068 hath spoken^H1696, that he may declare^H5046 it, for what the land^H776 perisheth^H6 and is burned up^H3341 like a wilderness^H4057, that none passeth through^H5674?¹³And the LORD^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 imagination^H8307 of their own heart^H3820, and after^H310 Baalim^H1168, which their fathers^H1 taught^H3925 them:¹⁵Therefore thus saith^H559 the LORD^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 heathen^H1471, whom neither they nor their fathers^H1 have known^H3045: and I will send^H7971 a sword^H2719 after^H310 them, till I have consumed^H3615 them.

¹⁷Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, Consider^H995 ye, and call^H7121 for the mourning women^H6969, that they may come^H935; and send^H7971 for cunning^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 spoiled^H7703 ! we are greatly^H3966 confounded^H954, because we have forsaken^H5800 the land^H776, because our dwellings^H4908 have cast us out^H7993.²⁰Yet hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^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 neighbour^H7468 lamentation^H7015.²¹For death^H4194 is come up^H5927 into our windows^H2474, and 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 the LORD^H3068, Even the carcases^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 the LORD^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 understandeth^H7919 and knoweth^H3045 me, that I am the LORD^H3068 which exercise^H6213 lovingkindness^H2617, judgment^H4941, and righteousness^H6666, in the earth^H776: for in these things I delight^H2654, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

²⁵Behold, the days^H3117 come^H935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that I will punish^H6485 all them which are circumcised^H4135 with the uncircumcised^H6190;²⁶Egypt^H4714, and Judah^H3063, and Edom^H123, and the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983, and Moab^H4124, and all that are in the utmost^H7112 corners^H6285, that dwell^H3427 in the wilderness^H4057: for all these nations^H1471 are uncircumcised^H6189, and all the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 are uncircumcised^H6189 in the heart^H3820.
