| Jeremiah 9 Text (WEB)
|
- Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
- 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 are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
- They bend their tongue, [as it were] their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don't know me, says Yahweh.
- Take heed everyone of his neighbor, and don't trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.
- They will deceive everyone his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.
- Your habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, says Yahweh.
- Therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how [else] should I do, because of the daughter of my people?
- Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lays wait for him.
- Shall I not visit them for these things? says Yahweh; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
- For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none passes through; neither can men hear the voice of the livestock; both the birds of the sky and the animals are fled, they are gone.
- I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling place of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
- Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and [who is] he to whom the mouth of Yahweh has spoken, that he may declare it? why is the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that none passes through?
- Yahweh says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein,
- but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them;
- therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
- I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.
- Thus says Yahweh of Armies, Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the skillful women, that they may come:
- 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.
- For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we ruined! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.
- Yet hear the word of Yahweh, you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters wailing, and everyone her neighbor lamentation.
- For death is come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from outside, [and] the young men from the streets.
- Speak, Thus says Yahweh, The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester; and none shall gather [them].
- Thus says Yahweh, Don't let the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, don't let the rich man glory in his riches;
- but let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says Yahweh.
- Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will punish all those who are circumcised in [their] uncircumcision:
- Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that have the corners [of their hair] cut off, who dwell in the wilderness; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.

- מי־יתן ראשי מים ועיני מקור דמעה ואבכה יוםם ולילה את חללי בת־עמי׃
- מי־יתנני במדבר מלון ארחים ואעזבה את־עמי ואלכה מאתם כי כלם מנאפים עצרת בגדים׃
- וידרכו את־לשונם קשתם שקר ולא לאמונה גברו בארץ כי מרעה אל־רעה יצאו ואתי לא־ידעו נאם־יהוה׃ ס
- איש מרעהו השמרו ועל־כל־אח אל־תבטחו כי כל־אח עקוב יעקב וכל־רע רכיל יהלך׃
- ואיש ברעהו יהתלו ואמת לא ידברו למדו לשונם דבר־שקר העוה נלאו׃
- שבתך בתוך מרמה במרמה מאנו דעת־אותי נאם־יהוה׃ ס
- לכן כה אמר יהוה צבאות הנני צורפם ובחנתים כי־איך אעשה מפני בת־עמי׃
- חץ לשונם מרמה דבר בפיו שלום את־רעהו ידבר ובקרבו ישים ארבו׃
- העל־אלה לא־אפקד־בם נאם־יהוה אם בגוי אשר־כזה לא תתנקם נפשי׃ ס
- על־ההרים אשא בכי ונהי ועל־נאות מדבר קינה כי נצתו מבלי־איש עבר ולא שמעו קול מקנה מעוף השמים ועד־בהמה נדדו הלכו׃
- ונתתי את־ירושלם לגלים מעון תנים ואת־ערי יהודה אתן שממה מבלי יושב׃ ס
- מי־האיש החכם ויבן את־זאת ואשר דבר פי־יהוה אליו ויגדה על־מה אבדה הארץ נצתה כמדבר מבלי עבר׃ ס
- ויאמר יהוה על־עזבם את־תורתי אשר נתתי לפניהם ולא־שמעו בקולי ולא־הלכו בה׃
- וילכו אחרי שררות לבם ואחרי הבעלים אשר למדום אבותם׃ ס
- לכן כה־אמר יהוה צבאות אלהי ישראל הנני מאכילם את־העם הזה לענה והשקיתים מי־ראש׃
- והפצותים בגוים אשר לא ידעו המה ואבותם ושלחתי אחריהם את־החרב עד כלותי אותם׃ ף
- כה אמר יהוה צבאות התבוננו וקראו למקוננות ותבואינה ואל־החכמות שלחו ותבואנה׃
- ותמהרנה ותשנה עלינו נהי ותרדנה עינינו דמעה ועפעפינו יזלו־מים׃
- כי קול נהי נשמע מציון איך שדדנו בשנו מאד כי־עזבנו ארץ כי השליכו משכנותינו׃ ס
- כי־שמענה נשים דבר־יהוה ותקח אזנכם דבר־פיו ולמדנה בנותיכם נהי ואשה רעותה קינה׃
- כי־עלה מות בחלונינו בא בארמנותינו להכרית עולל מחוץ בחורים מרחבות׃
- דבר כה נאם־יהוה ונפלה נבלת האדם כדמן על־פני השדה וכעמיר מאחרי הקצר ואין מאסף׃ ס
- כה אמר יהוה אל־יתהלל חכם בחכמתו ואל־יתהלל הגבור בגבורתו אל־יתהלל עשיר בעשרו׃
- כי אם־בזאת יתהלל המתהלל השכל וידע אותי כי אני יהוה עשה חסד משפט וצדקה בארץ כי־באלה חפצתי נאם־יהוה׃ ס
- הנה ימים באים נאם־יהוה ופקדתי על־כל־מול בערלה׃
- על־מצרים ועל־יהודה ועל־אדום ועל־בני עמון ועל־מואב ועל כל־קצוצי פאה הישבים במדבר כי כל־הגוים ערלים וכל־בית ישראל ערלי־לב׃ ס

| Jeremiah 9 Text (Latin)
|
- Quis dabit capiti meo aquam, et oculis meis fontem lacrimarum, et plorabo die ac nocte interfectos filiæ populi mei ?
- Quis dabit me in solitudine diversorium viatorum, et derelinquam populum meum et recedam ab eis ? Quia omnes adulterati sunt, cœtus prævaricatorum.
- Et extenderunt linguam suam quasi arcum mendacii et non veritatis. Confortati sunt in terra, quia de malo ad malum egressi sunt, et me non cognoverunt, dicit Dominus.
- Unusquisque se a proximo suo custodiat, et in omni fratre suo non habeat fiduciam : quia omnis frater supplantans supplantabit, et omnis amicus fraudulenter incedet,
- et vir fratrem suum deridebit, et veritatem non loquentur : docuerunt enim linguam suam loqui mendacium : ut inique agerent laboraverunt.
- Habitatio tua in medio doli : in dolo renuerunt scire me, dicit Dominus.
- Propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Ecce ego conflabo, et probabo eos : quid enim aliud faciam a facie filiæ populi mei ?
- Sagitta vulnerans lingua eorum, dolum locuta est. In ore suo pacem cum amico suo loquitur, et occulte ponit ei insidias.
- Numquid super his non visitabo, dicit Dominus, aut in gente hujusmodi non ulciscetur anima mea ?
- Super montes assumam fletum ac lamentum, et super speciosa deserti planctum, quoniam incensa sunt, eo quod non sit vir pertransiens, et non audierunt vocem possidentis : a volucre cæli usque ad pecora transmigraverunt et recesserunt.
- Et dabo Jerusalem in acervos arenæ, et cubilia draconum : et civitates Juda dabo in desolationem, eo quod non sit habitator.
- Quis est vir sapiens qui intelligat hoc, et ad quem verbum oris Domini fiat, ut annuntiet istud, quare perierit terra, et exusta sit quasi desertum, eo quod non sit qui pertranseat ?
- Et dixit Dominus : Quia dereliquerunt legem meam quam dedi eis, et non audierunt vocem meam, et non ambulaverunt in ea :
- et abierunt post pravitatem cordis sui, et post Baalim, quod didicerunt a patribus suis :
- idcirco hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël : Ecce ego cibabo populum istum absinthio, et potum dabo eis aquam fellis.
- Et dispergam eos in gentibus quas non noverunt ipsi et patres eorum, et mittam post eos gladium, donec consumantur.
- Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël : Contemplamini, et vocate lamentatrices, et veniant : et ad eas quæ sapientes sunt mittite, et properent :
- festinent, et assumant super nos lamentum : deducant oculi nostri lacrimas, et palpebræ nostræ defluant aquis.
- Quia vox lamentationis audita est de Sion : Quomodo vastati sumus, et confusi vehementer ? quia dereliquimus terram, quoniam dejecta sunt tabernacula nostra.
- Audite ergo, mulieres, verbum Domini, et assumant aures vestræ sermonem oris ejus, et docete filias vestras lamentum, et unaquæque proximam suam planctum :
- quia ascendit mors per fenestras nostras, ingressa est domos nostras, disperdere parvulos deforis, juvenes de plateis.
- Loquere : Hæc dicit Dominus : Et cadet morticinum hominis quasi stercus super faciem regionis, et quasi fœnum post tergum metentis, et non est qui colligat.
- Hæc dicit Dominus : Non glorietur sapiens in sapientia sua, et non glorietur fortis in fortitudine sua, et non glorietur dives in divitiis suis :
- sed in hoc glorietur, qui gloriatur, scire et nosse me, quia ego sum Dominus qui facio misericordiam, et judicium, et justitiam in terra : hæc enim placent mihi, ait Dominus.
- Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et visitabo super omnem qui circumcisum habet præputium,
- super Ægyptum, et super Juda, et super Edom, et super filios Ammon, et super Moab, et super omnes qui attonsi sunt in comam, habitantes in deserto : quia omnes gentes habent præputium, omnis autem domus Israël incircumcisi sunt corde.

| Jeremiah 9 Text (KJV)
|
- Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
- 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.
- And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
- Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.
- And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
- Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
- Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
- Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
- Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
- 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.
- And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
- 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?
- And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
- But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
- 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.
- I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.
- Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.
- 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 riches:
- But let him that glorieth 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 delight, saith the LORD.
- Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;
- Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
