Jeremiah 9 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

A Lament over Zion

Jer 9:1Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!

Jer 9:2

Jer 9:2Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging-place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.

Jer 9:3

Jer 9:3They bend their tongue, as it were their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don't know me, says the LORD.

Jer 9:4

Jer 9:4Take you heed everyone of his neighbor, and don't you trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.

Jer 9:5

Jer 9:5They will deceive everyone his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.

Jer 9:6

Jer 9:6Your habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, says the LORD.

Jer 9:7

Jer 9:7Therefore thus says the LORD of Hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how else should I do, because of the daughter of my people?

Jer 9:8

Jer 9:8Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lays wait for him.

Jer 9:9

Jer 9:9Shall I not visit them for these things? says the LORD; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Jer 9:10

Jer 9:10For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none passes through; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the birds of the sky and the animals are fled, they are gone.

Jer 9:11

Jer 9:11I will make Yerushalayim heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals; and I will make the cities of Yehudah a desolation, without inhabitant.

Jer 9:12

Jer 9:12Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it? why is the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that none passes through?

Jer 9:13

Jer 9:13The LORD says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein,

Jer 9:14

Jer 9:14but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Ba`alim, which their fathers taught them;

Jer 9:15

Jer 9:15therefore thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Yisra'el, Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

Jer 9:16

Jer 9:16I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.

Jer 9:17

Jer 9:17Thus says the LORD of Hosts, Consider you, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the skillful women, that they may come:

Jer 9:18

Jer 9:18and 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

Jer 9:19For a voice of wailing is heard out of Tziyon, How are we ruined! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.

Jer 9:20

Jer 9:20Yet hear the word of the LORD, you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters wailing, and everyone her neighbor lamentation.

Jer 9:21

Jer 9:21For death is come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets.

Jer 9:22

Jer 9:22Speak, Thus says the LORD, The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester; and none shall gather them.

Jer 9:23

Jer 9:23Thus says the LORD, Don't let the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, don't let the rich man glory in his riches;

Jer 9:24

Jer 9:24but let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness, in the eretz: for in these things I delight, says the LORD.

Jer 9:25

Jer 9:25Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will punish all those who are circumcised in their uncircumcision:

Jer 9:26

Jer 9:26Mitzrayim, and Yehudah, and Edom, and the children of `Ammon, and Mo'av, and all that have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Yisra'el are uncircumcised in heart.
