1 Oh that 5414 my head 7218 were waters 4325, and mine eyes 5869 a fountain 4726 of tears 1832, that I might weep 1058 day 3119 and night 3915 for the slain 2491 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971!
2 Oh that 5414 I had in the wilderness 4057 a lodging place 4411 of wayfaring men 732; that I might leave 5800 my people 5971, and go 3212 from them! for they be all adulterers 5003, an assembly 6116 of treacherous men 898.
3 And they bend 1869 their tongues 3956 like their bow 7198 for lies 8267: but they are not valiant 1396 for the truth 530 upon the earth 776; for they proceed 3318 from evil 7451 to evil 7451, and they know 3045 not me, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
4 Take ye heed 8104 every one 376 of his neighbour 7453, and trust 982 ye not in any brother 251: for every brother 251 will utterly 6117 supplant 6117, and every neighbour 7453 will walk 1980 with slanders 7400.
5 And they will deceive 2048 every one 376 his neighbour 7453, and will not speak 1696 the truth 571: they have taught 3925 their tongue 3956 to speak 1696 lies 8267, and weary 3811 themselves to commit iniquity 5753.
6 Thine habitation 3427 is in the midst 8432 of deceit 4820; through deceit 4820 they refuse 3985 to know 3045 me, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
7 Therefore thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, Behold, I will melt 6884 them, and try 974 them; for how shall I do 6213 for 6440 the daughter 1323 of my people 5971?
8 Their tongue 3956 is as an arrow 2671 shot out 7819; it speaketh 1696 deceit 4820: one speaketh 1696 peaceably 7965 to his neighbour 7453 with his mouth 6310, but in heart 7130 he layeth 7760 his wait 696.
9 Shall I not visit 6485 them for these things? saith 5002 the LORD 3068: shall not my soul 5315 be avenged 5358 on such a nation 1471 as this?
10 For the mountains 2022 will I take up 5375 a weeping 1065 and wailing 5092, and for the habitations 4999 of the wilderness 4057 a lamentation 7015, because they are burned up 3341, so that none 376 can pass 5674 through them; neither can men hear 8085 the voice 6963 of the cattle 4735; both the fowl 5775 of the heavens 8064 and the beast 929 are fled 5074; they are gone 1980.
11 And I will make 5414 Jerusalem 3389 heaps 1530, and a den 4583 of dragons 8577; and I will make 5414 the cities 5892 of Judah 3063 desolate 8077, without an inhabitant 3427.
12 Who is the wise 2450 man 376, that may understand 995 this? and who is he to whom the mouth 6310 of the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696, that he may declare 5046 it, for what the land 776 perisheth 6 and is burned up 3341 like a wilderness 4057, that none passeth through 5674?
13 And the LORD 3068 saith 559, Because they have forsaken 5800 my law 8451 which I set 5414 before 6440 them, and have not obeyed 8085 my voice 6963, neither walked 1980 therein;
14 But have walked 3212 after 310 the imagination 8307 of their own heart 3820, and after 310 Baalim 1168, which their fathers 1 taught 3925 them:
15 Therefore thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Behold, I will feed 398 them, even this people 5971, with wormwood 3939, and give them water 4325 of gall 7219 to drink 8248.
16 I will scatter 6327 them also among the heathen 1471, whom neither they nor their fathers 1 have known 3045: and I will send 7971 a sword 2719 after 310 them, till I have consumed 3615 them.
17 Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, Consider 995 ye, and call 7121 for the mourning women 6969, that they may come 935; and send 7971 for cunning 2450 women, that they may come 935:
18 And let them make haste 4116, and take up 5375 a wailing 5092 for us, that our eyes 5869 may run down 3381 with tears 1832, and our eyelids 6079 gush out 5140 with waters 4325.
19 For a voice 6963 of wailing 5092 is heard 8085 out of Zion 6726, How are we spoiled 7703! we are greatly 3966 confounded 954, because we have forsaken 5800 the land 776, because our dwellings 4908 have cast us out 7993.
20 Yet hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, O ye women 802, and let your ear 241 receive 3947 the word 1697 of his mouth 6310, and teach 3925 your daughters 1323 wailing 5092, and every one 802 her neighbour 7468 lamentation 7015.
21 For death 4194 is come up 5927 into our windows 2474, and is entered 935 into our palaces 759, to cut off 3772 the children 5768 from without 2351, and the young men 970 from the streets 7339.
22 Speak 1696, Thus saith 5002 the LORD 3068, Even the carcases 5038 of men 120 shall fall 5307 as dung 1828 upon the open 6440 field 7704, and as the handful 5995 after 310 the harvestman 7114, and none shall gather 622 them.
23 Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068, Let not the wise 2450 man glory 1984 in his wisdom 2451, neither let the mighty 1368 man glory 1984 in his might 1369, let not the rich 6223 man glory 1984 in his riches 6239:
24 But let him that glorieth 1984 glory 1984 in this, that he understandeth 7919 and knoweth 3045 me, that I am the LORD 3068 which exercise 6213 lovingkindness 2617, judgment 4941, and righteousness 6666, in the earth 776: for in these things I delight 2654, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
25 Behold, the days 3117 come 935, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, that I will punish 6485 all them which are circumcised 4135 with the uncircumcised 6190;
26 Egypt 4714, and Judah 3063, and Edom 123, and the children 1121 of Ammon 5983, and Moab 4124, and all that are in the utmost 7112 corners 6285, that dwell 3427 in the wilderness 4057: for all these nations 1471 are uncircumcised 6189, and all the house 1004 of Israel 3478 are uncircumcised 6189 in the heart 3820.
