  9:1 ¶
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. |
|
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!° |
|
9:2
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. |
|
9:2
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.°° |
|
9:3
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. |
|
9:3
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°°
Yahweh.° |
|
9:4
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. |
|
9:4
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.° |
|
9:5
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. |
|
9:5
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.°° |
|
9:6
[There is] usury upon usury, and deceit upon deceit: they would not know me, saith the Lord. |
|
9:6
Thine habitation°°
[is] in the midst°
of deceit;°
through deceit°
they refuse°°
to know°°
me, saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
9:7
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. |
|
9:7
Therefore°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
Behold,°
I will melt°°
them, and try°°
them; for°
how°
shall I do°°
for°°
the daughter°
of my people?° |
|
9:8
Their tongue is a wounding arrow; the words of their mouth are deceitful: [one] speaks peaceably to his neighbour, but in himself retains enmity. |
|
9:8
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.° |
|
9:9 ¶
Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a people as this? |
|
9:9 ¶
Shall I not°
visit°°
them for°
these°
[things]? saith°°
Yahweh:°
shall not°
my soul°
be avenged°°
on such°
a nation°
as this?° |
|
9:10
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. |
|
9:10
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.°° |
|
9:11
And I will remove the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and make it a dwelling-place of dragons; and I will utterly waste the cities of Judah{gr.Juda}, so that they shall not be inhabited. |
|
9:11
And I will make°°°
Jerusalem°
heaps,°
[and] a den°
of dragons;°
and I will make°°
the cities°
of Judah°
desolate,°
without°°
an inhabitant.°° |
|
9:12 ¶
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. |
|
9:12 ¶
Who°
[is] the wise°
man,°
that may understand°°°
this?°
and [who is he] to°
whom the mouth°
of Yahweh°
hath spoken,°°
that he may declare°°
it, for°
what°
the land°
perisheth°°
[and] is burned up°°
like a wilderness,°
that none°°
passeth through?°° |
|
9:13
And the Lord said to me, Because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them, and have not hearkened to my voice; |
|
9:13
And Yahweh°
saith,°°
Because°
they have forsaken°°°
my law°
which°
I set°°
before°
them, and have not°
obeyed°°
my voice,°
neither°
walked°°
therein; |
|
9:14
but went after the lusts of their evil heart, and after the idols which their fathers taught them [to worship]: |
|
9:14
But have walked°°°
after°
the imagination°
of their own heart,°
and after°
Baalim,°
which°
their fathers°
taught°°
them: |
|
9:15
therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them with trouble and will cause them to drink water of gall: |
|
9:15
Therefore°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
the Elohim°
of Israel;°
Behold,°
I will feed°°
them, [even]°
this°
people,°
with wormwood,°
and give them water°
of gall°
to drink.°° |
|
9:16
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. |
|
9:16
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. |
|
9:17 ¶
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; |
|
9:17 ¶
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
Consider°°
ye, and call°°
for the mourning women,°°
that they may come;°°
and send°°
for°
cunning°
[women], that they may come:°° |
|
9:18
and let them take up a lamentation for you, and let your eyes pour down tears, and your eyelids drop water. |
|
9:18
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.° |
|
9:19
For a voice of lamentation has been heard in Zion{gr.Sion}, How are we become wretched! we are greatly ashamed, for we have forsaken the land, and have abandoned our tabernacles! |
|
9:19
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.°° |
|
9:20
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. |
|
9:20
Yet°
hear°°
the word°
of Yahweh,°
O ye women,°
and let your ear°
receive°°
the word°
of his mouth,°
and teach°°
your daughters°
wailing,°
and every one°
her neighbour°
lamentation.° |
|
9:21
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. |
|
9:21
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.°° |
|
9:22
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]. |
|
9:22
Speak,°°
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
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]. |
|
9:23 ¶
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; |
|
9:23 ¶
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
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:° |
|
9:24
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. |
|
9:24
But°°
let him that glorieth°°
glory°°
in this,°
that he understandeth°°
and knoweth°°
me, that°
I°
[am] Yahweh°
which exercise°°
lovingkindness,°
judgment,°
and righteousness,°
in the earth:°
for°
in these°
[things] I delight,°°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
9:25 ¶
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will visit upon all the circumcised their uncircumcision; |
|
9:25 ¶
Behold,°
the days°
come,°°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
that I will punish°°°
all°
[them which are] circumcised°°
with the uncircumcised;° |
|
9:26
on Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, and on Edom{gr.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. |
|
9:26
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.° |
