# Jeremiah 9 (New King James Version)
|
|
Disobedience Brings God's Judgment
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 9
|
|
###### 1 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!
|
|
|
|
###### 2 Oh, that I had in the wilderness
|
|
A lodging place for travelers;
|
|
That I might leave my people,
|
|
And go from them!
|
|
For they _are_ all adulterers,
|
|
An assembly of treacherous men.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 "And _like_ their bow they have bent their tongues _for_ lies.
|
|
They are not valiant for the truth on the earth.
|
|
For they proceed from evil to evil,
|
|
And they do not know Me," says the Lord.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 "Everyone take heed to his neighbor,
|
|
And do not trust any brother;
|
|
For every brother will utterly supplant,
|
|
And every neighbor will walk with slanderers.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Everyone will deceive his neighbor,
|
|
And will not speak the truth;
|
|
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
|
|
They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 Your dwelling place _is_ in the midst of deceit;
|
|
Through deceit they refuse to know Me," says the Lord.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts:
|
|
"Behold, I will refine them and try them;
|
|
For how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?
|
|
|
|
###### 8 Their tongue _is_ an arrow shot out;
|
|
It speaks deceit;
|
|
_One_ speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
|
|
But in his heart he lies in wait.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Shall I not punish them for these _things?_" says the Lord.
|
|
"Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?"
|
|
|
|
###### 10 I will take up a weeping and wailing for the mountains,
|
|
And for the dwelling places of the wilderness a lamentation,
|
|
Because they are burned up,
|
|
So that no one can pass through;
|
|
Nor can _men_ hear the voice of the cattle.
|
|
Both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled;
|
|
They are gone.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 "I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a den of jackals.
|
|
I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant."
|
|
|
|
###### 12 Who _is_ the wise man who may understand this? And _who is he_ to whom the mouth of the Lord has spoken, that he may declare it? Why does the land perish _and_ burn up like a wilderness, so that no one can pass through?
|
|
|
|
###### 13 And the Lord said, "Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it,
|
|
###### 14 but they have walked according to the dictates of their own hearts and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them,"
|
|
###### 15 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: "Behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
|
|
###### 16 I will scatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them."The People Mourn in Judgment
|
|
|
|
###### 17 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
|
|
"Consider and call for the mourning women,
|
|
That they may come;
|
|
And send for skillful _wailing_ women,
|
|
That they may come.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 Let them make haste
|
|
And take up a wailing for us,
|
|
That our eyes may run with tears,
|
|
And our eyelids gush with water.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion:
|
|
'How we are plundered!
|
|
We are greatly ashamed,
|
|
Because we have forsaken the land,
|
|
Because we have been cast out of our dwellings.' "
|
|
|
|
###### 20 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O women,
|
|
And let your ear receive the word of His mouth;
|
|
Teach your daughters wailing,
|
|
And everyone her neighbor a lamentation.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 For death has come through our windows,
|
|
Has entered our palaces,
|
|
To kill off the children--_no longer to be_ outside!
|
|
_And_ the young men--_no longer_ on the streets!
|
|
|
|
###### 22 Speak, "Thus says the Lord:
|
|
'Even the carcasses of men shall fall as refuse on the open field,
|
|
Like cuttings after the harvester,
|
|
And no one shall gather _them._' "
|
|
|
|
###### 23 Thus says the Lord:
|
|
"Let not the wise _man_ glory in his wisdom,
|
|
Let not the mighty _man_ glory in his might,
|
|
Nor let the rich _man_ glory in his riches;
|
|
|
|
###### 24 But let him who glories glory in this,
|
|
That he understands and knows Me,
|
|
That I _am_ the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
|
|
For in these I delight," says the Lord.
|
|
|
|
###### 25 "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord, "that I will punish all _who are_ circumcised with the uncircumcised--
|
|
###### 26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, the people of Ammon, Moab, and all _who are_ in the farthest corners, who dwell in the wilderness. For all _these_ nations _are_ uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel _are_ uncircumcised in the heart."
