JER-9:1 Oh 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!
JER-9:2 Oh 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.
JER-9:3 And 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.
JER-9:4 Take 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.
JER-9:5 And 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.
JER-9:6 Thine habitation [is] in the midst of deceit; through
deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
JER-9:7 Therefore 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?
JER-9:8 Their 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.
JER-9:9 Shall I not visit them for these [things]? saith the
LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
JER-9:10 For 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.
JER-9:11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, [and] a den of dragons;
and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an
inhabitant.
JER-9:12 Who [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?
JER-9:13 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law
which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither
walked therein;
JER-9:14 But have walked after the imagination of their own
heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
JER-9:15 Therefore 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.
JER-9:16 I 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.
JER-9:17 Thus 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:
JER-9:18 And 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.
JER-9:19 For 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.
JER-9:20 Yet 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.
JER-9:21 For 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.
JER-9:22 Speak, 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].
JER-9:23 Thus 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:
JER-9:24 But 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.
JER-9:25 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will
punish all [them which are] circumcised with the uncircumcised;
JER-9:26 Egypt, 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.
