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}

At that timeH6256 they shall callH7121 JerusalemH3389 the throneH3678 of the LORDH3068; and all the nationsH1471 shall be gatheredH6960 unto it, to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to JerusalemH3389: neither shall they walkH3212 any more afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
But we will certainlyH6213 doH6213 whatsoever thingH1697 goeth forthH3318 out of our own mouthH6310, to burn incenseH6999 unto the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, as we have doneH6213, we, and our fathersH1, our kingsH4428, and our princesH8269, in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389: for then had we plentyH7646 of victualsH3899, and were wellH2896, and sawH7200 no evilH7451. {queen…: or, frame of heaven} {victuals: Heb. bread}
But they hearkenedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but walkedH3212 in the counselsH4156 and in the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820, and went backwardH268, and not forwardH6440. {imagination: or, stubbornness} {went: Heb. were}
Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085, nor hearkenH7181 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And GODH3068 sawH7200 that the wickednessH7451 of manH120 was greatH7227 in the earthH776, and that every imaginationH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of his heartH3820 was onlyH7535 evilH7451 continuallyH3117. {every…: or, the whole imagination: the Hebrew word signifieth not only the imagination, but also the purposes and desires} {continually: Heb. every day}
BecauseG1360 that, when they knewG1097 GodG2316, they glorifiedG1392 him notG3756 asG5613 GodG2316, neitherG2228 were thankfulG2168; butG235 became vainG3154 inG1722 theirG846 imaginationsG1261, andG2532 theirG846 foolishG801 heartG2588 was darkenedG4654.
Professing themselvesG5335 to beG1511 wiseG4680, they became foolsG3471,
AndG2532 changedG236 the gloryG1391 of the uncorruptibleG862 GodG2316 intoG1722 an imageG1504 made likeG3667 to corruptibleG5349 manG444, andG2532 to birdsG4071, andG2532 fourfooted beastsG5074, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062.
WhereforeG1352 GodG2316 alsoG2532 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 toG1519 uncleannessG167 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of their ownG846 heartsG2588, to dishonourG818 their ownG846 bodiesG4983 betweenG1722 themselvesG1438:
AndG2532 profitedG4298 inG1722 the Jews' religionG2454 aboveG5228 manyG4183 my equalsG4915 inG1722 mine ownG3450 nationG1085, beingG5225 more exceedinglyG4056 zealousG2207 of the traditionsG3862 of myG3450 fathersG3967. {equals: Gr. equals in years}
AmongG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 weG2249 allG3956 had our conversationG390 in times pastG4218 inG1722 the lustsG1939 of ourG2257 fleshG4561, fulfillingG4160 the desiresG2307 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 of the mindG1271; andG2532 wereG2258 by natureG5449 the childrenG5043 of wrathG3709, evenG2532 asG5613 othersG3062. {desires: Gr. wills}
Forasmuch as ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ye wereG3084 notG3756 redeemedG3084 with corruptible thingsG5349, as silverG694 andG2228 goldG5553, fromG1537 yourG5216 vainG3152 conversationG391 received by tradition from your fathersG3970;
ThisG5124 I sayG3004 thereforeG3767, andG2532 testifyG3143 inG1722 the LordG2962, that yeG5209 henceforthG3371 walkG4043 notG3371 asG2531+G2532 otherG3062 GentilesG1484 walkG4043, inG1722 the vanityG3153 of theirG846 mindG3563,
Having the understandingG1271 darkenedG4654, beingG5607 alienatedG526 from the lifeG2222 of GodG2316 throughG1223 the ignoranceG52 that isG5607 inG1722 themG846, becauseG1223 of the blindnessG4457 of theirG846 heartG2588: {blindness: or, hardness}
