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!

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.

ἐνέτειναν

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.

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.

καταπαίξεται

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.
Thine habitation
is in the midst
of deceit;
through deceit
they refuse
to know
me, saith
the LORD.
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?

τιτρώσκουσα
titrōskousa
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.
Shall I not visit
them for these things? saith
the LORD:
shall not my soul
be avenged
on such a nation
as this?
depart
ᾤχοντο

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.

And I will make
Jerusalem
heaps,
and a den
of dragons;
and I will make
the cities
of Judah
desolate,
without an inhabitant.
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?
And the LORD
saith,
Because they have forsaken
my law
which I set
before
them, and have not obeyed
my voice,
neither walked
therein;
But have walked
after
the imagination
of their own heart,
and after
Baalim,
which their fathers
taught
them:
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.

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.
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:
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.
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.
oh!
οἶκτον

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.

For death

from the streets.

Speak,
Thus saith
the LORD,
Even the carcases

shall fall
as dung

and as the handful

the harvestman,
and none shall gather
them.
Thus saith
the LORD,
Let not the wise
man glory

neither let the mighty
man glory
in his might,
let not the rich
man glory
in his riches:
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.
Behold, the days
come,
saith
the LORD,
that I will punish
all them which are circumcised

Egypt,
and Judah,

and the children

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.
