| [1]Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? then would I weep for this my people day and night, even for the slain of the daughter of my people. |
[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]Who would give me a most distant lodge in the wilderness, that I might leave my people, and depart from them? for they all commit adultery, an assembly of treacherous men. |
[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] |
| [3]And they have bent their tongue like a bow: falsehood and not faithfulness has prevailed upon the earth; for they have gone on from evil to evil, and have not known me, saith the Lord. |
[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]Beware ye each of his neighbour, and trust ye not in your brethren: for every one will surely supplant, and every friend will walk craftily. |
[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. |
| [5]Every one will mock his friend; they will not speak truth: their tongue has learned to speak falsehoods; they have committed iniquity, they ceased not, so as to return. |
[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]There is usury upon usury, and deceit upon deceit: they would not know me, saith the Lord. |
[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 saith the Lord, Behold, I will try them with fire, and prove them; for I will do thus because of the wickedness of the daughter of my people. |
[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? |
| [8]Their tongue is a wounding arrow; the words of their mouth are deceitful: one speaks peaceably to his neighbour, but in himself retains enmity. |
[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 visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a people as this? |
[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? |
| [10]Take up a lamentation for the mountains, and a mournful dirge for the paths of the wilderness, for they are desolate for want of men; they heard not the sound of life from the birds of the sky, nor the cattle: they were amazed, they are gone. |
[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 remove the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and make it a dwelling-place of dragons; and I will utterly waste the cities of Juda, so that they shall not be inhabited. |
[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] |
| [12]Who is the wise man, that he may understand this? and he that has the word of the mouth of the Lord addressed to him, let him tell you wherefore the land has been destroyed, has been ravaged by fire like a desert, so that no one passes through it. |
[12]Who is the wiseH2450 manH376, that may understandH995[H8799] this? and who is he to whom the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696[H8765], that he may declareH5046[H8686] it, for what the landH776 perishethH6[H8804] and is burned upH3341[H8738] like a wildernessH4057, that none passeth throughH5674?[H8802] |
| [13]And the Lord said to me, Because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them, and have not hearkened to my voice; |
[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; |
| [14]but went after the lusts of their evil heart, and after the idols which their fathers taught them to worship: |
[14]But have walkedH3212[H8799] afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their own heartH3820, and afterH310 BaalimH1168, which their fathersH1 taughtH3925 themH8765: |
| [15]therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them with trouble and will cause them to drink water of gall: |
[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]and I will scatter them among the nations, to them whom neither they nor their fathers knew; and I will send a sword upon them, until I have consumed them with it. |
[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. |
| [17]Thus saith the Lord, Call ye the mourning women, and let them come; and send to the wise women, and let them utter their voice; |
[17]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, ConsiderH995[H8708] ye, and callH7121[H8798] for the mourning womenH6969[H8789], that they may comeH935[H8799]; and sendH7971[H8798] for cunningH2450 women, that they may comeH935:[H8799] |
| [18]and let them take up a lamentation for you, and let your eyes pour down tears, and your eyelids drop water. |
[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. |
| [19]For a voice of lamentation has been heard in Sion, How are we become wretched! we are greatly ashamed, for we have forsaken the land, and have abandoned our tabernacles! |
[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] |
| [20]Hear now, ye women, the word of God, and let your ears receive the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters lamentation, and every woman her neighbour a dirge. |
[20]Yet hearH8085[H8798] the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ye womenH802, and let your earH241 receiveH3947[H8799] the wordH1697 of his mouthH6310, and teachH3925[H8761] your daughtersH1323 wailingH5092, and every oneH802 her neighbourH7468 lamentationH7015. |
| [21]For death has come up through your windows, it has entered into our land, to destroy the infants without, and the young men from the streets. |
[21]For deathH4194 is come upH5927[H8804] into our windowsH2474, and is enteredH935[H8804] into our palacesH759, to cut offH3772[H8687] the childrenH5768 from withoutH2351, and the young menH970 from the streetsH7339. |
| [22]And the carcases of the men shall be for an example on the face of the field of your land, like grass after the mower, and there shall be none to gather them. |
[22]SpeakH1696[H8761], Thus saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, Even the carcasesH5038 of menH120 shall fallH5307[H8804] as dungH1828 upon the openH6440 fieldH7704, and as the handfulH5995 afterH310 the harvestmanH7114[H8802], and none shall gatherH622 themH8764. |
| [23]Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, and let not the strong man boast in his strength, and let not the rich man boast in his wealth; |
[23]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, Let not the wiseH2450 man gloryH1984[H8691] in his wisdomH2451, neither let the mightyH1368 man gloryH1984[H8691] in his mightH1369, let not the richH6223 man gloryH1984[H8691] in his richesH6239: |
| [24]but let him that boasts boast in this, the understanding and knowing that I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and righteousness, upon the earth; for in these things is my pleasure, saith the Lord. |
[24]But let him that gloriethH1984[H8693] gloryH1984[H8691] in this, that he understandethH7919[H8687] and knowethH3045[H8800] me, that I am the LORDH3068 which exerciseH6213[H8802] lovingkindnessH2617, judgmentH4941, and righteousnessH6666, in the earthH776: for in these things I delightH2654[H8804], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
| [25]Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will visit upon all the circumcised their uncircumcision; |
[25]Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935[H8802], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that I will punishH6485[H8804] all them which are circumcisedH4135[H8803] with the uncircumcisedH6190; |
| [26]on Egypt, and on Idumea, and on Edom, and on the children of Ammon, and on the children of Moab, and on every one that shaves his face round about, even them that dwell in the wilderness; for all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in flesh, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in their hearts. |
[26]EgyptH4714, and JudahH3063, and EdomH123, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and MoabH4124, and all that are in the utmostH7112[H8803] cornersH6285, that dwellH3427[H8802] in the wildernessH4057: for all these nationsH1471 are uncircumcisedH6189, and all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are uncircumcisedH6189 in the heartH3820. |
