1
Oh
that my head
were waters
And my eyes
a fountain
of tears,
That I might weep
day
and night
For the slain
of the daughter
of my people!
2
Oh
that I had
in the desert
A wayfarers'
lodging place;
That I might leave
my people
And go
from them! For all
of them are adulterers,
An assembly
of treacherous
men.
3
"They bend
their tongue
like their bow;
Lies
and not truth
prevail
in the land;
For they proceed
from evil to evil,
And they do not know
Me," declares
the LORD.
4
"Let
every
one
be on guard
against
his
neighbor
,
And do not trust
any
brother
;
Because
every
brother
deals
craftily,
And
every
neighbor
goes
about as a slanderer.
5
"Everyone
deceives
his neighbor
And does not speak
the truth,
They have taught
their tongue
to speak
lies;
They weary
themselves committing iniquity.
6
"Your dwelling
is in the midst
of deceit;
Through deceit
they refuse
to know
Me," declares
the LORD.
7
Therefore
thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
"Behold,
I will refine
them and assay
them; For what
else can I do,
because
of the daughter
of My people?
8
"Their tongue
is a deadly
arrow;
It speaks
deceit;
With his mouth
one speaks
peace
to his neighbor,
But inwardly
he sets
an ambush
for him.
9
"Shall I not punish
them for these things?"
declares
the LORD.
"On a nation
such
as this
Shall I not avenge
Myself?
10
"For the mountains
I will take
up a weeping
and wailing,
And for the pastures
of the wilderness
a dirge,
Because
they are laid waste
so
that no
one
passes through,
And the lowing
of the cattle
is not heard;
Both
the birds
of the sky
and the beasts
have fled;
they are gone.
11
"I will make
Jerusalem
a heap
of ruins, A haunt
of jackals;
And I will make
the cities
of Judah
a desolation,
without
inhabitant."
12
Who
is the wise
man
that may understand
this?
And who is he to whom
the mouth
of the LORD
has spoken,
that he may declare
it? Why
is the land
ruined,
laid waste
like a desert,
so
that no one
passes through?
13
The LORD
said,
"Because
they have forsaken
My law
which
I set
before
them, and have not obeyed
My voice
nor
walked
according to it,
14
but have walked
after
the stubbornness
of their heart
and
after
the Baals,
as their fathers
taught
them,"
15
therefore
thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel,
"behold,
I will feed
them, this
people,
with wormwood
and give
them poisoned
water
to drink.
16
"I will scatter
them among the nations,
whom
neither they nor
their fathers
have known;
and I will send
the sword
after
them until
I have annihilated
them."
17
Thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
"Consider
and call
for the mourning women,
that they may come;
And send
for the wailing women,
that they may come!
18
"Let them make haste
and take
up a wailing
for us, That our eyes
may shed
tears
And our eyelids
flow
with water.
19
"For a voice
of wailing
is heard
from Zion,
'
How
are we ruined!
We are put
to great
shame,
For we have left
the land,
Because
they have cast down
our dwellings.'"
20
Now
hear
the word
of the LORD,
O you women,
And let your ear
receive
the word
of His mouth;
Teach
your daughters
wailing,
And everyone
her neighbor
a dirge.
21
For death
has come
up through our windows;
It has entered
our palaces
To cut off
the children
from the streets,
The young men
from the town squares.
22
Speak,
"Thus
says
the LORD,
'The corpses
of men
will fall
like dung
on the open
field,
And like the sheaf
after
the reaper,
But no one
will gather
them.'"
23
Thus
says
the LORD,
"Let not a wise man
boast
of his wisdom,
and let not the mighty man
boast
of his might,
let not a rich man
boast
of his riches;
24
but let him who
boast
s
boast
of this,
that he understands
and knows
Me, that I am the LORD
who exercises
lovingkindness,
justice
and righteousness
on earth;
for I delight
in these things,"
declares
the LORD.
25
"Behold,
the days
are coming,"
declares
the LORD,
"that I will punish
all
who are circumcised
and yet uncircumcised--
26
Egypt
and Judah,
and Edom
and the sons
of Ammon,
and Moab
and all
those inhabiting
the desert
who clip
the hair on their temples;
for all
the nations
are uncircumcised
,
and all
the house
of Israel
are uncircumcised
of heart."
