Lexicon :: Strong's H4310 - mî

Or [you have the untamed and reckless nature of] a wild donkey accustomed to the wilderness,

That sniffs the wind in her passion [for the scent of a mate].

In her mating season who can restrain her?

No males seeking her need to weary themselves;

In her month they will find her [looking for them].

To whom shall I (Jeremiah) speak and give warning

That they may hear?

Behold, their ears are [fn]closed [absolutely deaf to God]

And they cannot listen.

Behold, the word of the LORD has become a reprimand and an object of scorn to them;

They have no delight in it.

Oh that my head were waters

And my eyes a fountain of tears,

That I might weep day and night

For the slain of the daughter of my people!

Who is the wise man who may understand this [without any doubt]? To whom has the mouth of the LORD spoken, so that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined, laid waste like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?

Who would not fear You, O King of the nations?

For it is appropriate and it is Your due!

For among all the wise men of the nations

And in all their kingdoms,

There is none like You.

“For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem,

Or who will mourn for you,

Or who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?

“The heart is deceitful above all things

And it is [fn]extremely sick;

Who can understand it fully and know its secret motives?

“Therefore thus says the LORD,

‘Ask now among the nations,

Who has heard of such things?

The virgin Israel

Has done a very vile and horrible thing.

“Understand this, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,

O rock of the plain,” says the LORD—

“You who say, ‘Who will come down against us?

Or who will enter into our dwelling places?’

“But who [among them] has stood in the council of the LORD,

That he would perceive and hear His word?

Who has marked His word [noticing and observing and paying attention to it] and has [actually] heard it?

‘Their prince will be one of them,

And their ruler will come forward from among them.

I will bring him near and he shall approach Me,

For who is he who would have the boldness and would dare [on his own initiative] to risk his life to approach Me?’ says the LORD.

Who is this that rises up like the Nile [River],

Like the rivers [in the delta of Egypt] whose waters surge about?

“Why do you boast of your valleys?

Your valley is flowing away,

[O Ammon] rebellious and faithless daughter

Who trusts in her treasures, saying,

‘Who will come against me?’

“See, one will come up like a lion from the thicket of the Jordan against the enduring habitation [of Babylon] and its watered pastures; for in an instant I will make Babylon run from his land. I will appoint over Babylon the one whom I choose. For who is like Me, and who will summon Me [into court] and prosecute Me [for this]? Who is the [earthly] shepherd who can stand [defiantly] before Me?”
