updv - Jeremiah:8:4-9:26

updv@Jeremiah:8:4 @ Moreover you will say to them, Thus says Yahweh: Will men fall, and not rise up again? Will one turn away, and not return?

updv@Jeremiah:8:5 @ Why then has this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.

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

updv@Jeremiah:8:7 @ Yes, 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 don't know the law of Yahweh.

updv@Jeremiah:8:8 @ How do you(note:){+}(:note) say, We are wise, and the law of Yahweh is with us? But, look, the false pen of the scribes has wrought falsely.

updv@Jeremiah:8:9 @ The wise men are put to shame, they are dismayed and taken: look, they have rejected the word of Yahweh; and what manner of wisdom is in them?

updv@Jeremiah:8:10 @ Therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who will 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.

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

updv@Jeremiah:8:12 @ They were ashamed when they did these disgusting things. But, they did not feel ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they will fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says Yahweh.

updv@Jeremiah:8:13 @ I will completely consume them, says Yahweh: there will be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf will fade; and [the things that] I have given them will pass away from them.

updv@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 Yahweh our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Yahweh.

updv@Jeremiah:8:15 @ We looked for peace, but no good came; [and] for a time of healing, and, look, dismay!

updv@Jeremiah:8:16 @ The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: 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 in it.

updv@Jeremiah:8:17 @ For, look, I will send serpents, adders, among you(note:){+}(:note), which will not be charmed; and they will bite you{+}, says Yahweh.

updv@Jeremiah:8:18 @ I am grimacing because of my sorrow. My heart is faint inside me.

updv@Jeremiah:8:19 @ Look, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: Isn't Yahweh in Zion? Isn't her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities?

updv@Jeremiah:8:20 @ The harvest has passed, the summer has ended, and we are not saved.

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

updv@Jeremiah:8:22 @ Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then hasn't the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

updv@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!

updv@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 betraying men.

updv@Jeremiah:9:3 @ And they arm their tongues, [as] their bows, with falsehood; and it is not for loyalty that they are strong: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don't know me, says Yahweh.

updv@Jeremiah:9:4 @ Take(note:){+}(:note) heed every one of his fellow man, and don't trust{+} in any brother; for every brother will completely supplant, and every fellow man will go about with slanders.

updv@Jeremiah:9:5 @ And they will deceive every one his fellow man, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, perversion; they are unable to come back.

updv@Jeremiah:9:6 @ Oppression upon oppression, deceit upon deceit; they refuse to know me, says Yahweh.

updv@Jeremiah:9:7 @ Therefore this is what Yahweh of Hosts says, Look, I will melt them, and try them; for what [else] should I do, because [it is] of the daughter of my people?

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

updv@Jeremiah:9:9 @ Shall I not visit them for these things? says Yahweh; will not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

updv@Jeremiah:9:10 @ For the mountains I will lift: a weeping and a wailing; and for the pastures of the wilderness: a lamentation; because they are burned up, so that none passes through; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled, they are gone.

updv@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.

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

updv@Jeremiah:9:13 @ And Yahweh says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and haven't obeyed my voice, neither walked in it,

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

updv@Jeremiah:9:15 @ therefore this is what Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says, Look, I will feed this people with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

updv@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, until I have consumed them.

updv@Jeremiah:9:17 @ This is what Yahweh of hosts says, Consider(note:){+}(:note), and call{+} for the mourning women, that they may come; and send{+} for the skillful women, that they may come:

updv@Jeremiah:9:18 @ and let them hurry, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.

updv@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.

updv@Jeremiah:9:20 @ Yet hear the word of Yahweh, O you(note:){+}(:note) women, and let your{+} ear receive the word of his mouth; and teach your{+} daughters wailing, and every woman her fellow woman lamentation.

updv@Jeremiah:9:21 @ For death has come up into our windows, it has entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from outside, [and] the young men from the streets.

updv@Jeremiah:9:22 @ Speak, Thus says Yahweh, The dead bodies of man will fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman; and none will gather [them].

updv@Jeremiah:9:23 @ Thus says Yahweh, Don't let the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, don't let the rich man glory in his riches;

updv@Jeremiah:9:24 @ but let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving-kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says Yahweh.

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

updv@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, that dwell in the wilderness; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.
