1: Oh thatH4310 wereH5414 my headH7218 were waters,H4325 and my eyesH5869 a fountainH4726 of tears,H1832 that I might weepH1058 dayH3119 and nightH3915 -H0853 for the slainH2491 of the daughterH1323 of my people!H5971
2: whoH4310 will give meH5414 in the wildernessH4057 a lodging place forH4411 travelers-H0732 that I might leaveH5800 -H0853 my people,H5971 and goH1980 from themH0853 forH3588 they [are] allH3605 adulterers,H5003 An assemblyH6116 of treacherous men.H0898
3: And they have bentH1869 -H0853 their tonguesH3956 [like] their bowH7198 [for] lies-H8267 and notH3808 for the truthH0530 they are valiantH1396 on the earth-H0776 forH3588 from evilH7451 toH0413 evil,H7451 they proceedH3318 and MeH0853 notH3808 they do knowH3045 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068
4: EveryoneH0376 to his neighbor,H7453 take heedH8104 andH5921 anyH3605 brother-H0251 notH0408 do trustH0982 forH3588 everyH3605 brotherH0251 utterlyH6117 will supplant,H6117 and everyH3605 neighborH7453 with slanderersH7400 will walk.H1980
5: And EveryoneH0376 his neighbor,H7453 will deceiveH2048 and the truth,H0571 notH3808 will speakH1696 they have taughtH3925 their tongueH3956 to speakH1696 lies,H8267 to commit iniquityH5753 they weary themselves.H3811
6: Your dwelling place [is]H3427 in the midstH8432 of deceit-H4820 Through deceitH4820 they refuseH3985 to knowH3045 MeH0853 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068
7: ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 beholdH2005 I will refine themH6884 and try themH0974 forH3588 howH0349 shall I dealH6213 withH6440 the daughterH1323 of My people?H5971
8: an arrowH2671 shot out-H7819 their tongue [is]H3956 deceit-H4820 it speaksH1696 with his mouth,H6310 peaceablyH7965 toH0854 his neighborH7453 [One] speaksH1696 but in his heartH7130 he liesH7760 in wait.H0696
9: Shall forH5921 these [things]H0428 notH3808 I punishH6485 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068 OnH0518 on a nationH1471 suchH0834 as this?H2088 notH3808 shall avengeH5358 I Myself.H5315
10: ForH5921 the mountainsH2022 I will take upH5375 a weepingH1065 and wailing,H5092 and forH5921 the dwelling placesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 a lamentation,H7015 becauseH3588 they are burned up,H3341 so that no oneH1097 oneH0376 can pass throughH5674 norH3808 can [men] hearH8085 the voiceH6963 of the cattle-H4735 from the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 and toH5704 the beastsH0929 have fled-H5074 they are gone.H1980
11: And I will makeH5414 -H0853 JerusalemH3389 a heap of [ruins],H1530 a denH4583 of jackals-H8577 andH0853 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 I will makeH5414 desolate,H8077 withoutH1097 an inhabitant.H3427
12: Who [is]H4310 the man,H0376 wiseH2450 and who may understandH0995 -H0853 this?H2063 and [who is he] to whomH0834 has spoken,H1696 the mouthH6310 of YahwehH3068 untoH0413 that he may declare itH5046 whyH5921 whatH4100 does perishH0006 the landH0776 [and] burn upH3341 like a wilderness,H4057 so that no oneH1097 can pass through?H5674
13: and said,H0559 YahwehH3069 becauseH5921 they have forsakenH5800 -H0853 My lawH8451 whichH0834 I setH5414 before themH6440 and notH3808 have obeyedH8085 My voice,H6963 norH3808 walkedH1980
14: But they have walkedH1980 according toH0310 the dictatesH8307 of their own hearts,H3820 and afterH0310 the Baals,H1168 whichH0834 taught themH3925 their fathers.H0001
15: ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH0430 of Israel-H3478 beholdH2005 I will feed themH0398 -H0853 people,H5971 thisH2088 with wormwood,H3939 and give them to drinkH8248 waterH4325 of gall.H7219
16: And I will scatter themH6327 among the Gentiles,H1471 whomH0834 neitherH3808 have known-H3045 theyH1992 nor their fathersH0001 and I will sendH7971 after themH0310 -H0853 a swordH2719 untilH5704 I have consumedH3615 them.H0853
17: ThusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 ConsiderH0995 and callH7121 for the mourning women,H6969 that they may come-H0935 and forH0413 skillful wailing womenH2450 sendH7971 that they may come!H0935
18: and let them make haste,H4116 and take upH5375 for usH5921 a wailingH5092 that may runH3381 our eyesH5869 with tears,H1832 and our eyelidsH6079 gushH5140 with water.H4325
19: ForH3588 a voiceH6963 of wailingH5092 is heardH8085 from ZionH6726 howH0349 are we plundered!H7703 we are ashamed,H0954 greatlyH3966 becauseH3588 we have forsakenH5800 the land,H0776 becauseH3588 we have been cast outH7993 of our dwellings.H4908
20: YetH3588 hearH8085 women,H0802 the wordH1697 of Yahweh,H3068 and let receiveH3947 your earH0241 the wordH1697 of His mouth,H6310 and TeachH3925 your daughtersH1323 wailing,H5092 and everyoneH0802 her neighborH7468 a lamentation.H7015
21: ForH3588 has comeH5927 deathH4194 through our windows,H2474 Has enteredH0935 our palaces,H0759 to kill offH3772 the sonsH5768 [no longer to be] outside,H2351 [And] the young menH0970 [no longer] on the streets.H7339
22: Speak,H1696 thusH3541 saysH5002 Yahweh,H3068 and Even shall fallH5307 the carcassesH5038 of menH0120 as refuseH1828 onH5921 openH6440 the field,H7704 and Like cuttingsH5995 afterH0310 the harvester,H7114 and no oneH0369 shall gather [them].H0622
23: ThusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 notH0408 let gloryH1984 the wise [man]H2450 in his wisdom,H2451 and notH0408 let gloryH1984 the mighty [man]H1368 in his might,H1369 norH0408 let gloryH1984 the rich [man]H6223 in his riches-H6239
24: thatH3588 butH0518 in this,H2063 let him who gloriesH1984 gloryH1984 that he understandsH7919 and knowsH3045 MeH0853 thatH3588 I [am]H0589 YahwehH3068 exercisingH6213 lovingkindness,H2617 judgment,H4941 and righteousness,H6666 in the earth-H0776 forH3588 in theseH0428 I delight,H2654 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068
25: Behold,H2009 the daysH3117 are coming,H0935 saysH5002 Yahweh,H3068 that I will punishH6485 uponH5921 allH3605 [who are] circumcisedH4135 with the uncircumcised-H6190
26: uponH5921 Egypt,H4714 andH5921 Judah,H3063 andH5921 Edom,H0123 andH5921 the sonsH1121 of Ammon,H5983 andH5921 Moab,H4124 andH5921 all [who are] inH3605 farthestH7112 the corners,H6285 who dwellH3427 in the wilderness-H4057 forH3588 allH3605 [these] nationsH1471 [are] uncircumcised,H6189 and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 [are] uncircumcisedH6189 in the heart.H3820
