Jeremiah 9
Oh
that
my
head
were
waters,
and
mine
eyes
a
fountain
of
a
tears,
that
I
might
b
weep
day
and
night
for
the
slain
of
the
daughter
of
my
people!
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.
3 And
they
bend
their
tongues
like
their
bow
for
a
lies:
but
they
are
not
valiant
for
the
truth
upon
the
earth;
for
they
proceed
from
evil
to
evil,
and
they
b
know
not
me,
saith
the
Lord.
4 Take
ye
heed
every
one
of
his
neighbour,
and
a
trust
ye
not
in
any
brother:
for
every
brother
will
b
utterly
supplant,
and
every
neighbour
will
walk
with
c
slanders.
5 And
they
will
deceive
every
one
his
neighbour,
and
will
not
speak
the
truth:
they
have
taught
their
tongue
to
speak
a
lies,
and
b
weary
themselves
to
commit
iniquity.
6 Thine
habitation
is
in
the
midst
of
deceit;
through
deceit
they
refuse
to
know
me,
saith
the
Lord.
7 Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
Behold,
I
will
a
melt
them,
and
b
try
them;
for
how
shall
I
do
for
the
daughter
of
my
people?
8 Their
tongue
is
as
an
arrow
shot
out;
it
speaketh
deceit:
one
speaketh
peaceably
to
his
neighbour
with
his
mouth,
but
in
a
heart
he
layeth
his
wait.
9 Shall
I
not
a
visit
them
for
these
things?
saith
the
Lord:
shall
not
my
soul
be
b
avenged
on
such
a
nation
as
this?
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.
11 And
I
will
make
Jerusalem
heaps,
and
a
den
of
a
dragons;
and
I
will
make
the
cities
of
Judah
b
desolate,
without
an
inhabitant.
12 Who
is
the
wise
man,
that
may
understand
this?
and
who
is
he
to
whom
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
hath
spoken,
that
he
may
declare
it,
for
what
the
land
perisheth
and
is
burned
up
like
a
wilderness,
that
none
passeth
through?
13 And
the
Lord
saith,
Because
they
have
forsaken
my
law
which
I
set
before
them,
and
have
not
a
obeyed
my
voice,
neither
walked
therein;
14 But
have
walked
after
the
a
imagination
of
their
own
heart,
and
after
b
Baalim,
which
their
fathers
taught
them:
15 Therefore
thus
saith
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.
16 I
will
a
scatter
them
also
among
the
b
heathen,
whom
neither
they
nor
their
fathers
have
known:
and
I
will
send
a
sword
after
them,
till
I
have
consumed
them.
17 Thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
Consider
ye,
and
call
for
the
mourning
a
women,
that
they
may
come;
and
send
for
cunning
women,
that
they
may
come:
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.
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.
20 Yet
hear
the
word
of
the
Lord,
O
ye
women,
and
let
your
ear
receive
the
word
of
his
mouth,
and
teach
your
daughters
wailing,
and
every
one
her
neighbour
lamentation.
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.
22 Speak,
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Even
the
a
carcases
of
men
shall
fall
as
dung
upon
the
open
field,
and
as
the
handful
after
the
harvestman,
and
none
shall
gather
them.
23 Thus
saith
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
a
riches:
24 But
let
him
that
glorieth
a
glory
in
this,
that
he
understandeth
and
knoweth
me,
that
I
am
the
Lord
which
exercise
lovingkindness,
judgment,
and
righteousness,
in
the
earth:
for
in
these
things
I
b
delight,
saith
the
Lord.
25 Behold,
the
days
come,
saith
the
Lord,
that
I
will
punish
all
them
which
are
a
circumcised
with
the
uncircumcised;
26 Egypt,
and
Judah,
and
a
Edom,
and
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
Moab,
and
all
that
are
in
the
a
utmost
corners,
that
dwell
in
the
wilderness:
for
all
these
nations
are
uncircumcised,
and
all
the
house
of
Israel
are
uncircumcised
in
the
heart.
