Jeremiah 9 
1
Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I
might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
2
Oh 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.
3
And they 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 know not me, saith Jehovah.
4
Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother
for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.
5
And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the
truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies they weary themselves to commit iniquity.
6
Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit through deceit they refuse to
know me, saith Jehovah.
7
Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try
them for how [else] should I do, because of the daughter of my people?
8
Their tongue is a deadly arrow it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably
to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he layeth wait for him.
9
Shall I not visit them for these things? saith Jehovah shall not my soul
be avenged on such a nation as this?
10
For 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 passeth
through neither can men hear the voice of the cattle both the birds of the heavens and the
beasts are fled, they are gone.
11
And I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals and I will
make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
12
Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and [who is] he to whom
the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken, that he may declare it? wherefore is the land perished and
burned up like a wilderness, so that none passeth through?
13
And Jehovah saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before
them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein,
14
but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the
Baalim, which their fathers taught them
15
therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will
feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16
I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their
fathers have known and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them.
17
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning
women, that they may come and send for the skilful women, that they may come:
18
and 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.
19
For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we ruined! we are
greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our
dwellings.
20
Yet hear the word of Jehovah, O ye women, and let your ear receive the
word of his mouth and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
21
For death is come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces to
cut off the children from without, [and] the young men from the streets.
22
Speak, Thus saith Jehovah, The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung upon
the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman and none shall gather [them].
23
Thus saith Jehovah, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let
the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches
24
but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he hath understanding, and
knoweth me, that I am Jehovah who exerciseth lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness, in
the earth: for in these things I delight, saith Jehovah.
25
Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will punish all them that
are circumcised in [their] uncircumcision:
26
Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all
that have the corners [of their hair] cut off, that dwell in the wilderness for all the
nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.
