Oh thatH5414 my headH7218 were watersH4325, and mine eyesH5869 a fountainH4726 of tearsH1832, that I might weepH1058 dayH3119 and nightH3915 for the slainH2491 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971! {Oh…: Heb. Who will give my head, etc}
Oh thatH5414 I had in the wildernessH4057 a lodging placeH4411 of wayfaring menH732; that I might leaveH5800 my peopleH5971, and goH3212 from them! for they be all adulterersH5003, an assemblyH6116 of treacherous menH898.
And they bendH1869 their tonguesH3956 like their bowH7198 for liesH8267: but they are not valiantH1396 for the truthH530 upon the earthH776; for they proceedH3318 from evilH7451 to evilH7451, and they knowH3045 not me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Take ye heedH8104 every oneH376 of his neighbourH7453, and trustH982 ye not in any brotherH251: for every brotherH251 will utterlyH6117 supplantH6117, and every neighbourH7453 will walkH1980 with slandersH7400. {neighbour: or, friend}
And they will deceiveH2048 every oneH376 his neighbourH7453, and will not speakH1696 the truthH571: they have taughtH3925 their tongueH3956 to speakH1696 liesH8267, and wearyH3811 themselves to commit iniquityH5753. {deceive: or, mock}
Thine habitationH3427 is in the midstH8432 of deceitH4820; through deceitH4820 they refuseH3985 to knowH3045 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Behold, I will meltH6884 them, and tryH974 them; for how shall I doH6213 forH6440 the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971?
Their tongueH3956 is as an arrowH2671 shot outH7819; it speakethH1696 deceitH4820: one speakethH1696 peaceablyH7965 to his neighbourH7453 with his mouthH6310, but in heartH7130 he layethH7760 his waitH696. {in heart: Heb. in the midst of him} {his wait: or, wait for him}
Shall I not visitH6485 them for these things? saithH5002 the LORDH3068: shall not my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on such a nationH1471 as this?
For the mountainsH2022 will I take upH5375 a weepingH1065 and wailingH5092, and for the habitationsH4999 of the wildernessH4057 a lamentationH7015, because they are burned upH3341, so that noneH376 can passH5674 through them; neither can men hearH8085 the voiceH6963 of the cattleH4735; both the fowlH5775 of the heavensH8064 and the beastH929 are fledH5074; they are goneH1980. {habitations: or, pastures} {burned up: or, desolate} {both…: Heb. from the fowl even to, etc}
And I will makeH5414 JerusalemH3389 heapsH1530, and a denH4583 of dragonsH8577; and I will makeH5414 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 desolateH8077, without an inhabitantH3427. {desolate: Heb. desolation}
Who is the wiseH2450 manH376, that may understandH995 this? and who is he to whom the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696, that he may declareH5046 it, for what the landH776 perishethH6 and is burned upH3341 like a wildernessH4057, that none passeth throughH5674?
And the LORDH3068 saithH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 my lawH8451 which I setH5414 beforeH6440 them, and have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, neither walkedH1980 therein;
But have walkedH3212 afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their own heartH3820, and afterH310 BaalimH1168, which their fathersH1 taughtH3925 them: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will feedH398 them, even this peopleH5971, with wormwoodH3939, and give them waterH4325 of gallH7219 to drinkH8248.
I will scatterH6327 them also among the heathenH1471, whom neither they nor their fathersH1 have knownH3045: and I will sendH7971 a swordH2719 afterH310 them, till I have consumedH3615 them.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, ConsiderH995 ye, and callH7121 for the mourning womenH6969, that they may comeH935; and sendH7971 for cunningH2450 women, that they may comeH935:
And let them make hasteH4116, and take upH5375 a wailingH5092 for us, that our eyesH5869 may run downH3381 with tearsH1832, and our eyelidsH6079 gush outH5140 with watersH4325.
For a voiceH6963 of wailingH5092 is heardH8085 out of ZionH6726, How are we spoiledH7703! we are greatlyH3966 confoundedH954, because we have forsakenH5800 the landH776, because our dwellingsH4908 have cast us outH7993.
Yet hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ye womenH802, and let your earH241 receiveH3947 the wordH1697 of his mouthH6310, and teachH3925 your daughtersH1323 wailingH5092, and every oneH802 her neighbourH7468 lamentationH7015.
For deathH4194 is come upH5927 into our windowsH2474, and is enteredH935 into our palacesH759, to cut offH3772 the childrenH5768 from withoutH2351, and the young menH970 from the streetsH7339.
SpeakH1696, Thus saithH5002 the LORDH3068, Even the carcasesH5038 of menH120 shall fallH5307 as dungH1828 upon the openH6440 fieldH7704, and as the handfulH5995 afterH310 the harvestmanH7114, and none shall gatherH622 them.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Let not the wiseH2450 man gloryH1984 in his wisdomH2451, neither let the mightyH1368 man gloryH1984 in his mightH1369, let not the richH6223 man gloryH1984 in his richesH6239:
But let him that gloriethH1984 gloryH1984 in this, that he understandethH7919 and knowethH3045 me, that I am the LORDH3068 which exerciseH6213 lovingkindnessH2617, judgmentH4941, and righteousnessH6666, in the earthH776: for in these things I delightH2654, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will punishH6485 all them which are circumcisedH4135 with the uncircumcisedH6190; {punish: Heb. visit upon}
EgyptH4714, and JudahH3063, and EdomH123, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and MoabH4124, and all that are in the utmostH7112 cornersH6285, that dwellH3427 in the wildernessH4057: for all these nationsH1471 are uncircumcisedH6189, and all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are uncircumcisedH6189 in the heartH3820. {in the utmost…: Heb. cut off into corners, or, having the corners of their hair polled}

O thatH3863 they were wiseH2449, that they understoodH7919 this, that they would considerH995 their latter endH319!
And it shall come to pass, when ye shall sayH559, WhereforeH8478+H4100 doethH6213 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 all these things unto us? then shalt thou answerH559 them, Like as ye have forsakenH5800 me, and servedH5647 strangeH5236 godsH430 in your landH776, so shall ye serveH5647 strangersH2114 in a landH776 that is not yours.
Whoso is wiseH2450, and will observeH8104 these things, even they shall understandH995 the lovingkindnessH2617 of the LORDH3068.
Who is wiseH2450, and he shall understandH995 these things? prudentH995, and he shall knowH3045 them? for the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068 are rightH3477, and the justH6662 shall walkH3212 in them: but the transgressorsH6586 shall fallH3782 therein.
And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shewH5046 this peopleH5971 all these wordsH1697, and they shall sayH559 unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 pronouncedH1696 all this greatH1419 evilH7451 against us? or what is our iniquityH5771? or what is our sinH2403 that we have committedH2398 against the LORDH3068 our GodH430?
Then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Because your fathersH1 have forsakenH5800 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and have walkedH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, and have servedH5647 them, and have worshippedH7812 them, and have forsakenH5800 me, and have not keptH8104 my lawH8451;
And ye have doneH6213 worseH7489 than your fathersH1; for, beholdH2009, ye walkH1980 every oneH376 afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820, that they may not hearkenH8085 unto me: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
Therefore will I castH2904 you out of this landH776 into a landH776 that ye knowH3045 not, neither ye nor your fathersH1; and there shall ye serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430 dayH3119 and nightH3915; where I will not shewH5414 you favourH2594.
WhenG3752 ye thereforeG3767 shall seeG1492 the abominationG946 of desolationG2050, spoken ofG4483 byG1223 DanielG1158 the prophetG4396, standG2476 inG1722 the holyG40 placeG5117, (whoso readethG314, let him understandG3539:)
And manyH7227 nationsH1471 shall passH5674 by this cityH5892, and they shall sayH559 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this greatH1419 cityH5892?
BlessedG3107 is he that readethG314, andG2532 they that hearG191 the wordsG3056 of this prophecyG4394, andG2532 keepG5083 those things which are writtenG1125 thereinG1722+G846: forG1063 the timeG2540 is at handG1451.
Then they shall answerH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and worshippedH7812 otherH312 godsH430, and servedH5647 them.
So that the generationH1755 to comeH314 of your childrenH1121 that shall rise upH6965 afterH310 you, and the strangerH5237 that shall comeH935 from a farH7350 landH776, shall sayH559, when they seeH7200 the plaguesH4347 of that landH776, and the sicknessesH8463 which the LORDH3068 hath laidH2470 upon it; {which…: Heb. wherewith the LORD hath made it sick}
And that the whole landH776 thereof is brimstoneH1614, and saltH4417, and burningH8316, that it is not sownH2232, nor bearethH6779, nor any grassH6212 growethH5927 therein, like the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467, and GomorrahH6017, AdmahH126, and ZeboimH6636, which the LORDH3068 overthrewH2015 in his angerH639, and in his wrathH2534:
Even all nationsH1471 shall sayH559, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776? what meaneth the heatH2750 of this greatH1419 angerH639?
Then men shall sayH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which he madeH3772 with them when he brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
For they wentH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, and whom he had not givenH2505 unto them: {whom he…: or, who had not given to them any portion} {given: Heb. divided}
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against this landH776, to bringH935 upon it all the cursesH7045 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612:
And the LORDH3068 rootedH5428 them out of their landH127 in angerH639, and in wrathH2534, and in greatH1419 indignationH7110, and castH7993 them into anotherH312 landH776, as it is this dayH3117.
And at this houseH1004, which is highH5945, every one that passethH5674 by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319; and they shall sayH559, Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776, and to this houseH1004?
And they shall answerH559, Because they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, who brought forthH3318 their fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and have taken holdH2388 upon otherH312 godsH430, and have worshippedH7812 them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath the LORDH3068 broughtH935 upon them all this evilH7451.
A fruitfulH6529 landH776 into barrennessH4420, for the wickednessH7451 of them that dwellH3427 therein. {barrenness: Heb. saltiness}
And they shall comfortH5162 you, when ye seeH7200 their waysH1870 and their doingsH5949: and ye shall knowH3045 that I have not doneH6213 without causeH2600 all that I have doneH6213 in it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
There is a conspiracyH7195 of her prophetsH5030 in the midstH8432 thereof, like a roaringH7580 lionH738 raveningH2963 the preyH2964; they have devouredH398 soulsH5315; they have takenH3947 the treasureH2633 and precious thingsH3366; they have made her manyH7235 widowsH490 in the midstH8432 thereof.
Her priestsH3548 have violatedH2554 my lawH8451, and have profanedH2490 mine holy thingsH6944: they have put no differenceH914 between the holyH6944 and profaneH2455, neither have they shewedH3045 difference between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889, and have hidH5956 their eyesH5869 from my sabbathsH7676, and I am profanedH2490 amongH8432 them. {violated: Heb. offered violence to}
Her princesH8269 in the midstH7130 thereof are like wolvesH2061 raveningH2963 the preyH2964, to shedH8210 bloodH1818, and to destroyH6 soulsH5315, to getH1214 dishonest gainH1215.
And her prophetsH5030 have daubedH2902 them with untemperedH8602 morter, seeingH2374 vanityH7723, and diviningH7080 liesH3577 unto them, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, when the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696.
The peopleH5971 of the landH776 have used oppressionH6231+H6233, and exercisedH1497 robberyH1498, and have vexedH3238 the poorH6041 and needyH34: yea, they have oppressedH6231 the strangerH1616 wrongfullyH4941. {oppression: or, deceit} {wrongfully: Heb. without right}
And I soughtH1245 for a manH376 among them, that should make upH1443 the hedgeH1447, and standH5975 in the gapH6556 beforeH6440 me for the landH776, that I should not destroyH7843 it: but I foundH4672 none.
Therefore have I poured outH8210 mine indignationH2195 upon them; I have consumedH3615 them with the fireH784 of my wrathH5678: their own wayH1870 have I recompensedH5414 upon their headsH7218, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
