akjv Jeremiah:8:4-9:26
akjv@Jeremiah:8:4 @ Moreover you shall say to them, Thus said the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
akjv@Jeremiah:8:5 @ Why then is this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:6 @ I listened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rushes into the battle.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:7 @ Yes, the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:8 @ How do you say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? See, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:9 @ The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: see, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
akjv@Jeremiah:8:10 @ Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:11 @ For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:12 @ Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? no, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, said the LORD.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:13 @ I will surely consume them, said the LORD: there shall be no grapes 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.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:14 @ Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defended cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:15 @ We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
akjv@Jeremiah:8:16 @ The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:17 @ For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, said the LORD.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:18 @ When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:19 @ Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
akjv@Jeremiah:8:20 @ The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:21 @ For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment has taken hold on me.
akjv@Jeremiah:8:22 @ Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
akjv@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!
akjv@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 be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:3 @ And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth on the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, said the LORD.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:4 @ Take you heed every one of his neighbor, and trust you not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will walk with slanders.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:5 @ And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:6 @ Your habitation is in the middle of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, said the LORD.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:7 @ Therefore thus said the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
akjv@Jeremiah:9:8 @ Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in heart he lays his wait.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:9 @ Shall I not visit them for these things? said the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
akjv@Jeremiah:9:10 @ For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:11 @ And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:12 @ Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perishes and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passes through?
akjv@Jeremiah:9:13 @ And the LORD said, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
akjv@Jeremiah:9:14 @ But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
akjv@Jeremiah:9:15 @ Therefore thus said the 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.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:16 @ I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:17 @ Thus said the LORD of hosts, Consider you, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:
akjv@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.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:19 @ For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:20 @ Yet hear the word of the LORD, O you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:21 @ For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:22 @ Speak, Thus said the LORD, Even the carcasses of men shall fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:23 @ Thus said the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
akjv@Jeremiah:9:24 @ But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD which exercise loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, said the LORD.
akjv@Jeremiah:9:25 @ Behold, the days come, said the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;
akjv@Jeremiah:9:26 @ Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
