 <<  Yeremia 9 >> 

1Would that my head were a spring of water, my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of my people.

2Would that I had in the wilderness a wayside shelter, that I might leave my people and go away! They are all adulterers, a faithless mob.

3The tongue is their weapon, a bow ready bent. Lying, not truth, holds sway in the land. They proceed from one wrong to another and care nothing for me. This is the word of the LORD.

4Be on your guard, each against his friend; put no trust even in a brother. Brother supplants brother as Jacob did, and friend slanders friend.

5They deceive their friends and never speak the truth; they have trained their tongues to lying; deep in sin, they weary themselves going astray.

6Wrong follows wrong, deceit follows deceit; they refuse to acknowledge me. This is the word of the LORD.

7Therefore these are the words of the LORD of Hosts: I shall refine and assay them. How else should I deal with my people?

8Their tongues are deadly arrows, their mouths speak lies. One person talks amicably to another, while inwardly planning a trap.

9Shall I fail to punish them for this, says the LORD, shall I not exact vengeance on such a people?

10Over the mountains I shall raise weeping and wailing, and over the open pastures I shall chant a dirge. They are scorched and untrodden, they hear no lowing of cattle; birds of the air and beasts have fled and are gone.

11I shall make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a haunt of wolves, and the towns of Judah waste, without inhabitants.

12Who is wise enough to understand this, and who has the LORD's command to proclaim it? Why has the land become a dead land, scorched like the desert and untrodden?

13The LORD said: It is because they rejected my law which I set before them; they neither obeyed me nor followed it.

14They followed the promptings of their own stubborn hearts and followed the baalim as their forefathers had taught them.

15Therefore these are the words of the LORD of Hosts the God of Israel: I shall give this people wormwood to eat and bitter poison to drink.

16I shall disperse them among nations whom neither they nor their forefathers have known; I shall harry them with the sword until I have made an end of them.

17These are the words of the LORD of Hosts: Summon the wailing women to come, send for the women skilled in keening

18to come quickly and raise a lament for us, that our eyes may stream with tears and our eyelids be wet with weeping.

19The sound of lamenting is heard from Zion: “How fearful is our ruin! How great our shame! We have left our land, our houses have been overthrown.”

20Listen, you women, to the words of the LORD, that your ears may catch what he says. Teach your daughters the lament; teach your neighbours this dirge:

21“Death has climbed in through our windows and entered our palaces, cutting off the children in the street and the young men in the thoroughfare.”

22Corpses will fall and lie like dung in the fields, like swathes behind the reaper with no one to gather them.

23These are the words of the LORD: Let not the wise boast of their wisdom, nor the valiant of their valour; let not the wealthy boast of their wealth;

24but if anyone must boast, let him boast of this: that he understands and acknowledges me. For I am the LORD, I show unfailing love, I do justice and right on the earth; for in these I take pleasure. This is the word of the LORD.

25The time is coming, says the LORD, when I shall punish all the circumcised,

26Egypt and Judah and Edom, Ammon and Moab, and all who live in the fringes of the desert, for all alike, the nations and Israel, are uncircumcised in heart.
