Jeremiah 9:1 (NIV) New International Version

1 Oh, that my head were a spring of water and my eyes a fountain of tears! I would weep day and night for the slain of my people.
2 Oh, that I had in the desert a lodging place for travellers, so that I might leave my people and go away from them; for they are all adulterers, a crowd of unfaithful people.
3 "They make ready their tongue like a bow, to shoot lies; it is not by truth that they triumph in the land. They go from one sin to another; they do not acknowledge me," declares the LORD.
4 "Beware of your friends; do not trust your brothers. For every brother is a deceiver, and every friend a slanderer.
5 Friend deceives friend, and no-one speaks the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie; they weary themselves with sinning.
6 You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me," declares the LORD.
7 Therefore this is what the LORD Almighty says: "See, I will refine and test them, for what else can I do because of the sin of my people?
8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks with deceit. With his mouth each speaks cordially to his neighbour, but in his heart he sets a trap for him.
9 Should I not punish them for this?" declares the LORD. "Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?"
10 I will weep and wail for the mountains and take up a lament concerning the desert pastures. They are desolate and untravelled, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. The birds of the air have fled and the animals are gone.
11 "I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals; and I will lay waste the towns of Judah so that no-one can live there."
12 What man is wise enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the LORD and can explain it? Why has the land been ruined and laid waste like a desert that no-one can cross?
13 The LORD said, "It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law.
14 Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts; they have followed the Baals, as their fathers taught them."
15 Therefore, this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "See, I will make this people eat bitter food and drink poisoned water.
16 I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will pursue them with the sword until I have destroyed them."
17 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Consider now! Call for the wailing women to come; send for the most skilful of them.
18 Let them come quickly and wail over us till our eyes overflow with tears and water streams from our eyelids.
19 The sound of wailing is heard from Zion:`How ruined we are! How great is our shame! We must leave our land because our houses are in ruins.'"
20 Now, O women, hear the word of the LORD; open your ears to the words of his mouth. Teach your daughters how to wail; teach one another a lament.
21 Death has climbed in through our windows and has entered our fortresses; it has cut off the children from the streets and the young men from the public squares.
22 Say, "This is what the LORD declares: "`The dead bodies of men will lie like refuse on the open field, like cut corn behind the reaper, with no-one to gather them.'"
23 This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches,
24 but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD.
25 "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will punish all who are circumcised only in the flesh--
26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab and all who live in the desert in distant places. For all these nations are really uncircumcised, and even the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart."
1 Oh that H4310 IPRO my head H7218 CMS-1MS were H5414 VHFA waters H4325 OMD , and mine eyes H5869 a fountain H4726 of tears H1832 , that I might weep H1058 day H3119 ADV and night H3915 W-NMS for H5921 the slain H2491 of the daughter H1323 of my people H5971 !
2 Oh that I had H4310 IPRO in the wilderness H4057 a lodging place H4411 of wayfaring men H732 ; that I might leave H5800 my people H5971 , and go H1980 from them ! for H3588 CONJ they be all H3605 adulterers H5003 , an assembly H6116 of treacherous men H898 .
3 And they bend H1869 their tongues H3956 like their bow H7198 for lies H8267 NMS : but they are not H3808 W-NPAR valiant H1396 VQQ3MP for the truth H530 upon the earth H776 BD-GFS ; for H3588 CONJ they proceed H3318 from evil H7451 AFS to H413 PREP evil H7451 AFS , and they know H3045 VQQ3MP not H3808 W-NPAR me , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
4 Take ye heed H8104 every one H376 NMS of his neighbor H7453 CMS-3MS , and trust H982 ye not H408 NPAR in H5921 W-PREP any H3605 NMS brother H251 NMS : for H3588 CONJ every H3605 NMS brother H251 NMS will utterly supplant H6117 , and every H3605 NMS neighbor H7453 will walk H1980 VQY3MS with slanders H7400 .
5 And they will deceive H2048 every one H376 W-NMS his neighbor H7453 , and will not H3808 NADV speak H1696 VPY3MP the truth H571 : they have taught H3925 their tongue H3956 to speak H1696 lies H8267 NMS , and weary themselves H3811 to commit iniquity H5753 .
6 Thine habitation H3427 is in the midst H8432 B-NMS of deceit H4820 NFS ; through deceit H4820 they refuse H3985 to know H3045 me , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
7 Therefore H3651 L-ADV thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , Behold H2009 , I will melt H6884 them , and try H974 them ; for H3588 CONJ how H349 shall I do H6213 for M-CMP the daughter H1323 CFS of my people H5971 ?
8 Their tongue H3956 is as an arrow H2671 shot out H7819 ; it speaketh H1696 deceit H4820 NFS : one speaketh H1696 VPY3MS peaceably H7965 NMS to H854 PREP his neighbor H7453 NMS-3MS with his mouth H6310 B-CMS-3MS , but in heart H7130 he layeth H7760 VQY3MS his wait H696 .
9 Shall I not H3808 ADV visit H6485 them for H5921 these H428 PMP things ? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS : shall not H3808 NADV my soul H5315 CFS-1MS be avenged H5358 on such H834 RPRO a nation H1471 as this H2088 ?
10 For H5921 PREP the mountains H2022 will I take up H5375 VQY1MS a weeping H1065 and wailing H5092 , and for H5921 PREP the habitations H4999 of the wilderness H4057 NMS a lamentation H7015 , because H3588 CONJ they are burned up H3341 , so that none H1097 M-NPAR can pass through H5674 them ; neither H3808 W-NPAR can men hear H8085 VQQ3MP the voice H6963 CMS of the cattle H4735 NMS ; both the fowl H5775 M-NMS of the heavens H8064 D-NMD and the beast H929 NFS are fled H5074 ; they are gone H1980 .
11 And I will make H5414 Jerusalem H3389 heaps H1530 , and a den H4583 of dragons H8577 ; and I will make H5414 VQY1MS the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 desolate H8077 , without H1097 M-NPAR an inhabitant H3427 .
12 Who H4310 IPRO is the wise H2450 I-AMS man H376 D-NMS , that may understand H995 this H2063 DPRO ? and who is he to H413 PREP-3MS whom the mouth H6310 of the LORD H3068 EDS hath spoken H1696 VPQ3MS , that he may declare H5046 it , for H5921 PREP what H4100 IGAT the land H776 D-GFS perisheth H6 and is burned up H3341 like a wilderness H4057 , that none H1097 M-NPAR passeth through H5674 ?
13 And the LORD H3068 EDS saith H559 W-VQY3MS , Because H5921 PREP they have forsaken H5800 my law H8451 CFS-1MS which H834 RPRO I set H5414 VQQ1MS before H6440 L-CMP-3MP them , and have not H3808 W-NPAR obeyed H8085 VQQ3MP my voice H6963 , neither H3808 W-NPAR walked H1980 VQQ3MP therein ;
14 But have walked H1980 W-VQY3MP after H310 PREP the imagination H8307 of their own heart H3820 CMS-3MP , and after H310 Baalim H1168 , which H834 RPRO their fathers H1 CMP-3MP taught H3925 them :
15 Therefore H3651 L-ADV thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 ; Behold H2009 , I will feed H398 them , even this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 , with wormwood H3939 , and give them water H4325 of gall H7219 to drink H8248 .
16 I will scatter H6327 them also among the heathen H1471 , whom H834 RPRO neither H3808 NADV they H1992 PPRO-3MP nor their fathers H1 have known H3045 : and I will send H7971 a sword H2719 D-GFS after H310 them , till H5704 PREP I have consumed H3615 them .
17 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , Consider H995 ye , and call H7121 for the mourning women H6969 , that they may come H935 ; and send H7971 for H413 W-PREP cunning H2450 women , that they may come H935 :
18 And let them make haste H4116 , and take up H5375 a wailing H5092 for H5921 PREP-1MP us , that our eyes H5869 may run down H3381 with tears H1832 , and our eyelids H6079 gush out H5140 VQY3MP with waters H4325 NMP .
19 For H3588 CONJ a voice H6963 CMS of wailing H5092 is heard H8085 VQY1MP out of Zion H6726 , How H349 are we spoiled H7703 ! we are greatly H3966 ADV confounded H954 , because H3588 CONJ we have forsaken H5800 the land H776 NFS , because H3588 CONJ our dwellings H4908 have cast us out H7993 .
20 Yet H3588 CONJ hear H8085 the word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , O ye women H802 GFP , and let your ear H241 receive H3947 the word H1697 CMS of his mouth H6310 , and teach H3925 your daughters H1323 wailing H5092 , and every one H802 her neighbor H7468 lamentation H7015 .
21 For H3588 CONJ death H4194 NMS is come up H5927 into our windows H2474 , and is entered H935 VQPMS into our palaces H759 , to cut off H3772 the children H5768 from without H2351 , and the young men H970 from the streets H7339 .
22 Speak H1696 VPFC , Thus H3541 saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , Even the carcasses H5038 of men H120 D-NMS shall fall H5307 as dung H1828 upon H5921 PREP the open H6440 CMP field H7704 D-NMS , and as the handful H5995 after H310 the harvest man H7114 , and none H369 W-NPAR shall gather H622 them .
23 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , Let not H408 NPAR the wise H2450 AMS man glory H1984 in his wisdom H2451 , neither H408 ADV let the mighty H1368 man glory H1984 in his might H1369 , let not H408 NPAR the rich H6223 AMS man glory H1984 in his riches H6239 :
24 But H518 PART let him that glorieth H1984 glory H1984 in this H2063 , that he understandeth H7919 VHFA and knoweth H3045 me , that H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 EDS which exercise H6213 VQPMS lovingkindness H2617 NMS , judgment H4941 NMS , and righteousness H6666 , in the earth H776 B-NFS : for H3588 CONJ in these H428 things I delight H2654 VQQ1MS , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
25 Behold H2009 IJEC , the days H3117 NMP come H935 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , that I will punish H6485 all H3605 NMS them which are circumcised H4135 with the uncircumcised H6190 ;
26 Egypt H4714 EFS , and Judah H3063 , and Edom H123 , and the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 , and Moab H4124 , and all H3605 NMS that are in the utmost H7112 corners H6285 , that dwell H3427 in the wilderness H4057 : for H3588 CONJ all H3605 NMS these nations H1471 D-NMP are uncircumcised H6189 , and all H3605 NMS the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 are uncircumcised H6189 in the heart H3820 NMS .
