Jeremiah 8
At
that
time,
saith
the
Lord,
they
shall
bring
out
the
bones
of
the
kings
of
Judah,
and
the
bones
of
his
princes,
and
the
bones
of
the
priests,
and
the
bones
of
the
prophets,
and
the
bones
of
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
out
of
their
graves:
2 And
they
shall
spread
them
before
the
sun,
and
the
moon,
and
all
the
host
of
heaven,
whom
they
have
loved,
and
whom
they
have
served,
and
after
whom
they
have
walked,
and
whom
they
have
sought,
and
whom
they
have
a
worshipped:
they
shall
not
be
gathered,
nor
be
b
buried;
they
shall
be
for
dung
upon
the
face
of
the
earth.
3 And
a
death
shall
be
b
chosen
rather
than
life
by
all
the
residue
of
them
that
remain
of
this
evil
family,
which
remain
in
all
the
places
whither
I
have
driven
them,
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts.
4 Moreover
thou
shalt
say
unto
them,
Thus
saith
the
Lord;
Shall
they
fall,
and
not
arise?
shall
he
turn
away,
and
not
return?
5 Why
then
is
this
people
of
Jerusalem
slidden
back
by
a
perpetual
a
backsliding?
they
hold
fast
deceit,
they
refuse
to
return.
6 I
hearkened
and
heard,
but
they
spake
not
aright:
no
man
repented
him
of
his
wickedness,
saying,
What
have
I
done?
every
one
turned
to
his
course,
as
the
horse
rusheth
into
the
battle.
7 Yea,
the
stork
in
the
heaven
knoweth
her
appointed
times;
and
the
a
turtle
and
the
crane
and
the
swallow
observe
the
time
of
their
coming;
but
my
people
b
know
not
the
judgment
of
the
Lord.
8 How
do
ye
say,
We
are
a
wise,
and
the
law
of
the
Lord
is
with
us?
Lo,
certainly
in
vain
made
he
it;
the
pen
of
the
scribes
is
in
vain.
9 The
wise
men
are
ashamed,
they
are
dismayed
and
taken:
lo,
they
have
a
rejected
the
word
of
the
Lord;
and
what
wisdom
is
in
them?
10 Therefore
will
I
give
their
wives
unto
others,
and
their
fields
to
them
that
shall
inherit
them:
for
every
one
from
the
least
even
unto
the
greatest
is
given
to
covetousness,
from
the
prophet
even
unto
the
priest
every
one
dealeth
falsely.
11 For
they
have
healed
the
hurt
of
the
daughter
of
my
people
slightly,
saying,
Peace,
peace;
when
there
is
no
peace.
12 Were
they
a
ashamed
when
they
had
committed
abomination?
nay,
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
b
cast
down,
saith
the
Lord.
13 I
will
surely
a
consume
them,
saith
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.
14 Why
do
we
sit
still?
assemble
yourselves,
and
let
us
enter
into
the
a
defenced
cities,
and
let
us
be
silent
there:
for
the
Lord
our
God
hath
put
us
to
silence,
and
given
us
water
of
gall
to
drink,
because
we
have
sinned
against
the
Lord.
15 We
looked
for
a
peace,
but
no
good
came;
and
for
a
time
of
health,
and
behold
trouble!
16 The
snorting
of
his
horses
was
heard
from
Dan:
the
whole
land
trembled
at
the
sound
of
the
neighing
of
his
a
strong
ones;
for
they
are
come,
and
have
devoured
the
land,
and
all
that
is
in
it;
the
city,
and
those
that
dwell
therein.
17 For,
behold,
I
will
send
serpents,
cockatrices,
among
you,
which
will
not
be
charmed,
and
they
shall
bite
you,
saith
the
Lord.
18 When
I
would
comfort
myself
against
sorrow,
my
heart
is
faint
in
me.
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
a
anger
with
their
graven
images,
and
with
b
strange
vanities?
20 The
a
harvest
is
past,
the
summer
is
ended,
and
we
are
not
saved.
21 For
the
hurt
of
the
daughter
of
my
people
am
I
hurt;
I
am
a
black;
astonishment
hath
taken
hold
on
me.
22 Is
there
no
a
balm
in
Gilead;
is
there
no
physician
there?
why
then
is
not
the
health
of
the
daughter
of
my
people
recovered?
