acv@Jeremiah:8:4 @ Moreover thou shall say to them, Thus says LORD: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall he turn away, and not return?

acv@Jeremiah:8:5 @ Why then has this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold firm deceit. They refuse to return.

acv@Jeremiah:8:6 @ I hearkened and heard, but they did not speak aright. No man repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Everyone turns to his course as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.

acv@Jeremiah:8:7 @ Yea, the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times, and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming, but my people know not the law of LORD.

acv@Jeremiah:8:8 @ How can ye say, We are wise, and the law of LORD is with us? But, behold, the FALSE pen of the scribes has wrought falsely.

acv@Jeremiah:8:9 @ The wise men are put to shame. They are dismayed and taken. Lo, they have rejected the word of LORD, and what manner of wisdom is in them?

acv@Jeremiah:8:10 @ Therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness. From the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.

acv@Jeremiah:8:11 @ And they have lightly healed the hurt of the daughter of my people, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.

acv@Jeremiah:8:12 @ Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, nor could they blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall. In the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says LORD.

acv@Jeremiah:8:13 @ I will utterly consume them, says LORD. There shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade, and [things] I have given them shall pass away from them.

acv@Jeremiah:8:14 @ Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there. For LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against LORD.

acv@Jeremiah:8:15 @ We looked for peace, but no good came, for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!

acv@Jeremiah:8:16 @ The snorting of his horses is heard from Daniel. At the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles. For they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell therein.

acv@Jeremiah:8:17 @ For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says LORD.

acv@Jeremiah:8:18 @ Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.

acv@Jeremiah:8:19 @ Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: Is not LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities?

acv@Jeremiah:8:20 @ The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

acv@Jeremiah:8:21 @ For the hurt of the daughter of my people I am hurt. I mourn. Dismay has taken hold on me.

acv@Jeremiah:8:22 @ Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

acv@Jeremiah: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!

acv@Jeremiah:9:2 @ 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.

acv@Jeremiah:9:3 @ And they bend their tongue--their bow--for falsehood, and they have grown strong in the land, but not for truth. For they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know me, says LORD.

acv@Jeremiah:9:4 @ Take ye heed each 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.

acv@Jeremiah:9:5 @ And they will deceive each one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves to commit iniquity.

acv@Jeremiah:9:6 @ Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit. Through deceit they refuse to know me, says LORD.

acv@Jeremiah:9:7 @ Therefore thus says LORD of hosts: Behold, I will melt them, and try them, for how [else] should I do, because of the daughter of my people?

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

acv@Jeremiah:9:9 @ Shall I not visit them for these things? says LORD. Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

acv@Jeremiah:9:10 @ For the mountains I will 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, nor can men hear the voice of the cattle. Both the birds of the

acv@Jeremiah:9:11 @ And I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals. And I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.

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

acv@Jeremiah:9:13 @ And LORD says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, nor walked in it,

acv@Jeremiah:9:14 @ but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baalim, which their fathers taught them.

acv@Jeremiah:9:15 @ Therefore thus says LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

acv@Jeremiah:9:16 @ 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.

acv@Jeremiah:9:17 @ Thus says LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come, and send for the skilful women, that they may come.

acv@Jeremiah:9:18 @ 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.

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

acv@Jeremiah:9:20 @ Yet hear the word of LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and each one her neighbor lamentation.

acv@Jeremiah:9:21 @ For death has come up into our windows. It has entered into our palaces, to cut off the sons from outside, the young men from the streets.

acv@Jeremiah:9:22 @ Speak, Thus says LORD: The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather.

acv@Jeremiah:9:23 @ Thus says LORD: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, nor let the mighty man glory in his might. Let not the rich man glory in his riches,

acv@Jeremiah:9:24 @ but let him who boasts boast in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am LORD who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth. For in these things I delight, says LORD.

acv@Jeremiah:9:25 @ Behold, the days come, says LORD, that I will punish all those who are circumcised in [their] uncircumcision:

acv@Jeremiah:9:26 @ Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the sons of Ammon, and Moab, and all who have the corners [of their hair] cut off, who dwell in the wilderness. For all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in
