Jeremiah 8:7-22

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>_!

8:16

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}

8:17

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>_.

8:18

[When] I would comfort
<04010>

myself against sorrow
<03015>_,

my heart
<03820>

[is] faint
<01742>

in me. {in: Heb. upon}

8:19

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}

8:20

The harvest
<07105>

is past
<05674> (8804)_,

the summer
<07019>

is ended
<03615> (8804)_,

and we are not saved
<03467> (8738)_.

8:21

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.

8:22

[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?}
