web Jeremiah:8:4-9:26
web@Jeremiah:8:4 @ Moreover you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?
web@Jeremiah:8:5 @ Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
web@Jeremiah:8:6 @ I listened and heard, but they didn't speak aright: no man repents him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
web@Jeremiah:8:7 @ Yes, the stork in the sky 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 Yahweh's law.
web@Jeremiah:8:8 @ How do you say, We are wise, and the law of Yahweh is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has worked falsely.
web@Jeremiah:8:9 @ The wise men are disappointed, they are dismayed and taken: behold, they have rejected the word of Yahweh; and what kind of wisdom is in them?
web@Jeremiah:8:10 @ Therefore will I 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 every one deals falsely.
web@Jeremiah:8:11 @ They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
web@Jeremiah:8:12 @ Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says Yahweh.
web@Jeremiah:8:13 @ I will utterly consume them, says Yahweh: no grapes shall be on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
web@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.
web@Jeremiah:8:15 @ We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
web@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 therein.
web@Jeremiah:8:17 @ For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, says Yahweh.
web@Jeremiah:8:18 @ Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.
web@Jeremiah:8:19 @ Behold, 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 engraved images, and with foreign vanities?
web@Jeremiah:8:20 @ The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
web@Jeremiah:8:21 @ For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay has taken hold on me.
web@Jeremiah:8:22 @ Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there? why then isn't the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
web@Jeremiah:9:1 @ Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
web@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.
web@Jeremiah:9:3 @ They bend their tongue, as 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 don't know me, says Yahweh.
web@Jeremiah:9:4 @ Take heed everyone of his neighbor, and don't trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.
web@Jeremiah:9:5 @ They will deceive everyone his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.
web@Jeremiah:9:6 @ Your habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, says Yahweh.
web@Jeremiah:9:7 @ Therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how should I deal with the daughter of my people?
web@Jeremiah:9:8 @ Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lays wait for him.
web@Jeremiah:9:9 @ Shall I not visit them for these things? says Yahweh; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
web@Jeremiah:9:10 @ 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 passes through; neither can men hear the voice of the livestock; both the birds of the sky and the animals are fled, they are gone.
web@Jeremiah:9:11 @ I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling place of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
web@Jeremiah:9:12 @ Who is the wise man, that may understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of Yahweh has spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that none passes through?
web@Jeremiah:9:13 @ Yahweh says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein,
web@Jeremiah:9:14 @ but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them;
web@Jeremiah:9:15 @ therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
web@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.
web@Jeremiah:9:17 @ Thus says Yahweh of Armies, Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the skillful women, that they may come:
web@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.
web@Jeremiah:9:19 @ 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.
web@Jeremiah:9:20 @ Yet hear the word of Yahweh, you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters wailing, and everyone her neighbor lamentation.
web@Jeremiah:9:21 @ For death has come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets.
web@Jeremiah:9:22 @ Speak, Thus says Yahweh, The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester; and none shall gather them.
web@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;
web@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.
web@Jeremiah:9:25 @ Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will punish all those who are circumcised in uncircumcision:
web@Jeremiah:9:26 @ Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that 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 heart.
