Jeremiah 8 
1
At that time, saith Jehovah, they shall bring out the bones of the kings
of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the
prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves
2
and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host
of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have
walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshipped: they shall not be
gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
3
And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain
of this evil family, that remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith Jehovah
of hosts.
4
Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: Shall men fall,
and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?
5
Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual
backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6
I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repenteth him of
his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turneth to his course, as a horse that
rusheth headlong in the battle.
7
Yea, the stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times and the
turtle-dove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming but my people
know not the law of Jehovah.
8
How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? But,
behold, the false pen of the scribes hath wrought falsely.
9
The wise men are put to shame, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have
rejected the word of Jehovah and what manner of wisdom is in them?
10
Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them
that shall possess them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to
covetousness from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
11
And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly,
saying, Peace, peace when there is no peace.
12
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not
at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall in
the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith Jehovah.
13
I will utterly consume them, saith Jehovah: there shall be no grapes on
the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf shall fade and [the things that] I have
given them shall pass away from them.
14
Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the
fortified cities, and let us be silent there for Jehovah our God hath put us to silence, and
given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Jehovah.
15
We looked for peace, but no good came [and] for a time of healing, and,
behold, dismay!
16
The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the
neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembleth for they are come, and have devoured
the land and all that is in it the city and those that dwell therein.
17
For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be
charmed and they shall bite you, saith Jehovah.
18
Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! my heart is faint within
me.
19
Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land
that is very far off: is not Jehovah in Zion? is not her King in her? Why have they provoked
me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities?
20
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21
For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn dismay hath
taken hold on me.
22
Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there? why then is not
the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
