Jeremiah 9 1 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 ! Copy 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 . Copy 3 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 . Copy 4 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 . Copy 5 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 . Copy 6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit ; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord . Copy 7 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 ? Copy 8 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 . Copy 9 Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the Lord : shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? Copy 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 . Copy 11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps , and a den of dragons ; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate , without an inhabitant . Copy 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 ? Copy 13 And the Lord saith , Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice , neither walked therein; Copy 14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart , and after Baalim , which their fathers taught them: Copy 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 . Copy 16 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. Copy 17 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 : Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 22 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. Copy 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 riches : Copy 24 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 . Copy 25 Behold, the days come , saith the Lord , that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised ; Copy 26 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 .
