Jeremiah 9:8-26

9:8

Their tongue
<03956>

[is as] an arrow
<02671>

shot out
<07819> (8803)_;

it speaketh
<01696> (8765)

deceit
<04820>_:

[one] speaketh
<01696> (8762)

peaceably
<07965>

to his neighbour
<07453>

with his mouth
<06310>_,

but in heart
<07130>

he layeth
<07760> (8799)

his wait
<0696>_.

{in heart: Heb. in the midst of him} {his wait: or, wait for him}

9:9

Shall I not visit
<06485> (8799)

them for these [things]? saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

shall not my soul
<05315>

be avenged
<05358> (8691)

on such a nation
<01471>

as this?

9:10

For the mountains
<02022>

will I take up
<05375> (8799)

a weeping
<01065>

and wailing
<05092>_,

and for the habitations
<04999>

of the wilderness
<04057>

a lamentation
<07015>_,

because they are burned up
<03341> (8738)_,

so that none
<0376>

can pass
<05674> (8802)

through [them]; neither can [men] hear
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of the cattle
<04735>_;

both the fowl
<05775>

of the heavens
<08064>

and the beast
<0929>

are fled
<05074> (8804)_;

they are gone
<01980> (8804)_.

{habitations: or, pastures} {burned up: or, desolate} {both...: Heb. from the fowl even to, etc}

9:11

And I will make
<05414> (8804)

Jerusalem
<03389>

heaps
<01530>_,

[and] a den
<04583>

of dragons
<08577>_;

and I will make
<05414> (8799)

the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

desolate
<08077>_,

without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.

{desolate: Heb. desolation}

9:12

Who [is] the wise
<02450>

man
<0376>_,

that may understand
<0995> (8799)

this? and [who is he] to whom the mouth
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_,

that he may declare
<05046> (8686)

it, for what the land
<0776>

perisheth
<06> (8804)

[and] is burned up
<03341> (8738)

like a wilderness
<04057>_,

that none passeth through
<05674> (8802)_?

9:13

And the LORD
<03068>

saith
<0559> (8799)_,

Because they have forsaken
<05800> (8800)

my law
<08451>

which I set
<05414> (8804)

before
<06440>

them, and have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)

my voice
<06963>_,

neither walked
<01980> (8804)

therein;

9:14

But have walked
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

the imagination
<08307>

of their own heart
<03820>_,

and after
<0310>

Baalim
<01168>_,

which their fathers
<01>

taught
<03925> (8765)

them: {imagination: or, stubbornness}

9:15

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Behold, I will feed
<0398> (8688)

them, [even] this people
<05971>_,

with wormwood
<03939>_,

and give them water
<04325>

of gall
<07219>

to drink
<08248> (8689)_.

9:16

I will scatter
<06327> (8689)

them also among the heathen
<01471>_,

whom neither they nor their fathers
<01>

have known
<03045> (8804)_:

and I will send
<07971> (8765)

a sword
<02719>

after
<0310>

them, till I have consumed
<03615> (8763)

them.

9:17

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

Consider
<0995> (8708)

ye, and call
<07121> (8798)

for the mourning women
<06969> (8789)_,

that they may come
<0935> (8799)_;

and send
<07971> (8798)

for cunning
<02450>

[women], that they may come
<0935> (8799)_:

9:18

And let them make haste
<04116> (8762)_,

and take up
<05375> (8799)

a wailing
<05092>

for us, that our eyes
<05869>

may run down
<03381> (8799)

with tears
<01832>_,

and our eyelids
<06079>

gush out
<05140> (8799)

with waters
<04325>_.

9:19

For a voice
<06963>

of wailing
<05092>

is heard
<08085> (8738)

out of Zion
<06726>_,

How are we spoiled
<07703> (8795)_!

we are greatly
<03966>

confounded
<0954> (8804)_,

because we have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

the land
<0776>_,

because our dwellings
<04908>

have cast [us] out
<07993> (8689)_.

9:20

Yet hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

O ye women
<0802>_,

and let your ear
<0241>

receive
<03947> (8799)

the word
<01697>

of his mouth
<06310>_,

and teach
<03925> (8761)

your daughters
<01323>

wailing
<05092>_,

and every one
<0802>

her neighbour
<07468>

lamentation
<07015>_.

9:21

For death
<04194>

is come up
<05927> (8804)

into our windows
<02474>_,

[and] is entered
<0935> (8804)

into our palaces
<0759>_,

to cut off
<03772> (8687)

the children
<05768>

from without
<02351>_,

[and] the young men
<0970>

from the streets
<07339>_.

9:22

Speak
<01696> (8761)_,

Thus saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Even the carcases
<05038>

of men
<0120>

shall fall
<05307> (8804)

as dung
<01828>

upon the open
<06440>

field
<07704>_,

and as the handful
<05995>

after
<0310>

the harvestman
<07114> (8802)_,

and none shall gather
<0622> (8764)

[them].

9:23

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Let not the wise
<02450>

[man] glory
<01984> (8691)

in his wisdom
<02451>_,

neither let the mighty
<01368>

[man] glory
<01984> (8691)

in his might
<01369>_,

let not the rich
<06223>

[man] glory
<01984> (8691)

in his riches
<06239>_:

9:24

But let him that glorieth
<01984> (8693)

glory
<01984> (8691)

in this, that he understandeth
<07919> (8687)

and knoweth
<03045> (8800)

me, that I [am] the LORD
<03068>

which exercise
<06213> (8802)

lovingkindness
<02617>_,

judgment
<04941>_,

and righteousness
<06666>_,

in the earth
<0776>_:

for in these [things] I delight
<02654> (8804)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

9:25

Behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that I will punish
<06485> (8804)

all [them which are] circumcised
<04135> (8803)

with the uncircumcised
<06190>_;

{punish: Heb. visit upon}

9:26

Egypt
<04714>_,

and Judah
<03063>_,

and Edom
<0123>_,

and the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and Moab
<04124>_,

and all [that are] in the utmost
<07112> (8803)

corners
<06285>_,

that dwell
<03427> (8802)

in the wilderness
<04057>_:

for all [these] nations
<01471>

[are] uncircumcised
<06189>_,

and all the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

[are] uncircumcised
<06189>

in the heart
<03820>_.

{in the utmost...: Heb. cut off into corners, or, having the corners of their hair polled}
