Jeremiah 8:1-15

8:1

At that time
<06256>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

they shall bring out
<03318> (8686)

the bones
<06106>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and the bones
<06106>

of his princes
<08269>_,

and the bones
<06106>

of the priests
<03548>_,

and the bones
<06106>

of the prophets
<05030>_,

and the bones
<06106>

of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

out of their graves
<06913>_:

8:2

And they shall spread
<07849> (8804)

them before the sun
<08121>_,

and the moon
<03394>_,

and all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_,

whom they have loved
<0157> (8804)_,

and whom they have served
<05647> (8804)_,

and after
<0310>

whom they have walked
<01980> (8804)_,

and whom they have sought
<01875> (8804)_,

and whom they have worshipped
<07812> (8694)_:

they shall not be gathered
<0622> (8735)_,

nor be buried
<06912> (8735)_;

they shall be for dung
<01828>

upon the face
<06440>

of the earth
<0127>_.

8:3

And death
<04194>

shall be chosen
<0977> (8738)

rather than life
<02416>

by all the residue
<07611>

of them that remain
<07604> (8737)

of this evil
<07451>

family
<04940>_,

which remain
<07604> (8737)

in all the places
<04725>

whither I have driven
<05080> (8689)

them, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

8:4

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)_?

8:5

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)_.

8:6

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>_.

8:7

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>_.

8:8

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}

8:9

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}

8:10

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>_.

8:11

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>_.

8:12

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}

8:13

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.

8:14

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}

8:15

We looked
<06960> (8763)

for peace
<07965>_,

but no good
<02896>

[came; and] for a time
<06256>

of health
<04832>_,

and behold trouble
<01205>_!
