| [1]Oh thatH5414[H8799] my headH7218 were watersH4325, and mine eyesH5869 a fountainH4726 of tearsH1832, that I might weepH1058[H8799] dayH3119 and nightH3915 for the slainH2491 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971! |

| [2]Oh thatH5414[H8799] I had in the wildernessH4057 a lodging placeH4411 of wayfaring menH732[H8802]; that I might leaveH5800[H8799] my peopleH5971, and goH3212[H8799] from them! for they be all adulterersH5003[H8764], an assemblyH6116 of treacherous menH898.[H8802] |
[No book] |
| [3]And they bendH1869[H8686] their tonguesH3956 like their bowH7198 for liesH8267: but they are not valiantH1396[H8804] for the truthH530 upon the earthH776; for they proceedH3318[H8804] from evilH7451 to evilH7451, and they knowH3045[H8804] not me, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |

| [4]Take ye heedH8104[H8734] every oneH376 of his neighbourH7453, and trustH982[H8799] ye not in any brotherH251: for every brotherH251 will utterlyH6117[H8800] supplantH6117[H8799], and every neighbourH7453 will walkH1980[H8799] with slandersH7400. |
[No book] |
| [5]And they will deceiveH2048[H8762] every oneH376 his neighbourH7453, and will not speakH1696[H8762] the truthH571: they have taughtH3925[H8765] their tongueH3956 to speakH1696[H8763] liesH8267, and wearyH3811[H8738] themselves to commit iniquityH5753.[H8687] |

| [6]Thine habitationH3427[H8800] is in the midstH8432 of deceitH4820; through deceitH4820 they refuseH3985[H8765] to knowH3045[H8800] me, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |

| [7]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Behold, I will meltH6884[H8802] them, and tryH974[H8804] them; for how shall I doH6213[H8799] forH6440 the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971? |
[No book] |
| [8]Their tongueH3956 is as an arrowH2671 shot outH7819[H8803]; it speakethH1696[H8765] deceitH4820: one speakethH1696[H8762] peaceablyH7965 to his neighbourH7453 with his mouthH6310, but in heartH7130 he layethH7760[H8799] his waitH696. |

| [9]Shall I not visitH6485[H8799] them for these things? saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068: shall not my soulH5315 be avengedH5358[H8691] on such a nation as thisH1471? |
[No book] |
| [10]For the mountainsH2022 will I take upH5375[H8799] a weepingH1065 and wailingH5092, and for the habitationsH4999 of the wildernessH4057 a lamentationH7015, because they are burned upH3341[H8738], so that noneH376 can passH5674[H8802] through them; neither can men hearH8085[H8804] the voiceH6963 of the cattleH4735; both the fowlH5775 of the heavensH8064 and the beastH929 are fledH5074[H8804]; they are goneH1980.[H8804] |

| [11]And I will makeH5414[H8804] JerusalemH3389 heapsH1530, and a denH4583 of dragonsH8577; and I will makeH5414[H8799] the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 desolateH8077, without an inhabitantH3427.[H8802] |

| [13]And the LORDH3068 saithH559[H8799], Because they have forsakenH5800[H8800] my lawH8451 which I setH5414[H8804] beforeH6440 them, and have not obeyedH8085[H8804] my voiceH6963, neither walkedH1980 thereinH8804; |

| [15]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will feedH398[H8688] them, even this peopleH5971, with wormwoodH3939, and give them waterH4325 of gallH7219 to drinkH8248.[H8689] |

| [16]I will scatterH6327[H8689] them also among the heathenH1471, whom neither they nor their fathersH1 have knownH3045[H8804]: and I will sendH7971[H8765] a swordH2719 afterH310 them, till I have consumedH3615 themH8763. |

| [18]And let them make hasteH4116[H8762], and take upH5375[H8799] a wailingH5092 for us, that our eyesH5869 may run downH3381[H8799] with tearsH1832, and our eyelidsH6079 gush outH5140[H8799] with watersH4325. |
[No book] |
| [19]For a voiceH6963 of wailingH5092 is heardH8085[H8738] out of ZionH6726, How are we spoiledH7703[H8795]! we are greatlyH3966 confoundedH954[H8804], because we have forsakenH5800[H8804] the landH776, because our dwellingsH4908 have cast us outH7993.[H8689] |
