Ieremiah 9

1 Jeremiah lamenteth the Jews for their manifold sins, 9 and for their judgment. 12 Disobedience is the cause of their bitter calamity. 17 He exhorteth to mourn for their destruction, 23 and to trust not in themselves, but in God. 25 He threateneth both Jews and Gentiles.

 9:1 ¶ Oh that y5414 z8799 x4310 my head 7218 were x5414 waters, 4325 and mine eyes 5869 a fountaine 4726 of teares, 1832 that I might weepe 1058 z8799 day 3119 and night 3915 for x5921 the slaine 2491 of the daughter 1323 of my people. 5971

 9:2 Oh that y5414 z8799 I had x4310 x5414 in the wildernesse 4057 a lodging place 4411 of wayfaring men, 732 z8802 that I might leaue 5800 z8799 x853 my people, 5971 and goe y3212 z8799 x1980 from x4480 x854 them: for x3588 they [be] all x3605 adulterers, 5003 z8764 an assembly 6116 of treacherous men. 898 z8802

 9:3 And they bend 1869 z8686 x853 their tongue 3956 [like] their bow 7198 [for] lies: 8267 but they are not x3808 valiant 1396 z8804 for the trueth 530 vpon the earth: 776 for x3588 they proceed 3318 z8804 from euil 7451 x4480 to x413 euill, 7451 and they know 3045 z8804 not x3808 me, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068

 9:4 Take yee heede 8104 z8734 euery one 376 of his neighbour, 7453 x4480 and trust 982 z8799 yee not x408 in x5921 any x3605 brother: 251 for x3588 euery x3605 brother 251 will vtterly y6117 z8800 supplant, 6117 z8799 and euery x3605 neighbour 7453 will walke 1980 z8799 with slanders. 7400

 9:5 And they will deceiue 2048 z8762 euery one 376 his neighbour, 7453 and will not x3808 speake 1696 z8762 the trueth, 571 they haue taught 3925 z8765 their tongue 3956 to speake 1696 z8763 lies, 8267 [and] weary y3811 z8738 themselues x3811 to commit iniquity. 5753 z8687

 9:6 Thine habitation 3427 z8800 [is] in the middest 8432 of deceit, 4820 through deceit 4820 they refuse 3985 z8765 to know 3045 z8800 me, sayth 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068

 9:7 Therfore x3651 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hostes; 6635 Behold, x2009 I will melt 6884 z8802 them, and trie 974 z8804 them: for x3588 how x349 shall I doe 6213 z8799 for 6440 x4480 the daughter 1323 of my people? 5971

 9:8 Their tongue 3956 is [as] an arrowe 2671 shot out, 7819 z8803 it speaketh 1696 z8765 deceit: 4820 one speaketh 1696 z8762 peaceably 7965 to x854 his neighbour 7453 with his mouth, 6310 but in heart 7130 he layeth 7760 z8799 his waite. 696

 9:9 ¶ Shall I not x3808 visit 6485 z8799 them for x5921 these x428 things, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD? 3068 shall not x3808 my soule 5315 be auenged 5358 z8691 on such x834 a nation 1471 as this? x2088

 9:10 For x5921 the mountaines 2022 will I take vp 5375 z8799 a weeping 1065 and wayling, 5092 and for x5921 the habitations 4999 of the wildernesse 4057 a lamentation, 7015 because x3588 they are burnt vp, 3341 z8738 so that none 376 x4480 x1097 can passe y5674 z8802 through x5674 them, neither x3808 can men heare 8085 z8804 the voyce 6963 of the cattell, 4735 both the foule 5775 x4480 of the heauens, 8064 and the beast 929 are fled, 5074 z8804 they are gone. 1980 z8804

 9:11 And I will make 5414 z8804 x853 Ierusalem 3389 heapes, 1530 [and] a denne 4583 of dragons, 8577 and I wil make 5414 z8799 the cities 5892 of Iudah 3063 desolate, 8077 without x4480 x1097 an inhabitant. 3427 z8802

 9:12 ¶ Who x4310 [is] the wise 2450 man 376 that may vnderstand 995 z8799 x853 this, x2063 and [who is he] to x413 whom the mouth 6310 of the LORD 3068 hath spoken, 1696 z8765 that hee may declare 5046 z8686 it; for x5921 what x4100 the land 776 perisheth, 6 z8804 [and] is burnt vp 3341 z8738 like a wildernesse 4057 that none x4480 x1097 passeth through? 5674 z8802

 9:13 And the LORD 3068 saith; 559 z8799 Because x5921 they haue forsaken 5800 z8800 x853 my law, 8451 which x834 I set 5414 z8804 before 6440 them, and haue not x3808 obeyed 8085 z8804 my voyce, 6963 neither x3808 walked 1980 z8804 therein;

 9:14 But haue walked y3212 z8799 x1980 after 310 the imagination 8307 of their owne heart, 3820 & after 310 Baalim, 1168 which x834 their fathers 1 taught 3925 z8765 them:

 9:15 Therefore x3651 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 the God 430 of Israel, 3478 Behold, x2009 I will feed 398 z8688 them, [euen] x853 this x2088 people 5971 with wormewood, 3939 and giue them water 4325 of gall 7219 to drinke. 8248 z8689

 9:16 I will scatter 6327 z8689 them also among the heathen, 1471 whome x834 neither x3808 they x1992 nor their fathers 1 haue knowen: 3045 z8804 and I wil send 7971 z8765 x853 a sword 2719 after 310 them, til x5704 I haue consumed 3615 z8763 them.

 9:17 ¶ Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 Consider 995 z8708 yee, and call 7121 z8798 for the mourning women, 6969 z8789 that they may come, 935 z8799 and send 7971 z8798 for x413 cunning 2450 women, that they may come. 935 z8799

 9:18 And let them make haste, 4116 z8762 and take vp 5375 z8799 a wailing 5092 for x5921 vs, that our eyes 5869 may run down 3381 z8799 with teares, 1832 and our eyelids 6079 gush out 5140 z8799 with waters. 4325

 9:19 For x3588 a voyce 6963 of wayling 5092 is heard 8085 z8738 out of Zion, 6726 x4480 How x349 are we spoiled? 7703 z8795 wee are greatly 3966 confounded, 954 z8804 because x3588 wee haue forsaken 5800 z8804 the land, 776 because x3588 our dwellings 4908 haue cast vs out. 7993 z8689

 9:20 Yet x3588 heare 8085 z8798 the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 O ye women, 802 & let your eare 241 receiue 3947 z8799 the word 1697 of his mouth, 6310 and teach 3925 z8761 your daughters 1323 wailing, 5092 and euery one 802 her neighbour 7468 lamentation. 7015

 9:21 For x3588 death 4194 is come vp 5927 z8804 into our windowes, 2474 [and] is entred 935 z8804 into our palaces, 759 to cut off 3772 z8687 the children 5768 from without 2351 x4480 [and] the yong men 970 from the streetes. 7339 x4480

 9:22 Speake, 1696 z8761 Thus x3541 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 Euen the carkeises 5038 of men 120 shall fall 5307 z8804 as dung 1828 vpon x5921 the open 6440 field, 7704 and as the handfull 5995 after 310 x4480 the haruest man, 7114 z8802 and none x369 shall gather 622 z8764 [them].

 9:23 ¶ Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 Let not x408 the wise 2450 man glory 1984 z8691 in his wisdom, 2451 neither x408 let the mighty 1368 man glory 1984 z8691 in his might, 1369 let not x408 the rich 6223 man glory 1984 z8691 in his riches. 6239

 9:24 But x3588 x518 let him that glorieth, 1984 z8693 glory 1984 z8691 in this, x2063 that hee vnderstandeth 7919 z8687 and knoweth 3045 z8800 me, that x3588 I x589 [am] the LORD 3068 which exercise 6213 z8802 louing kindnesse, 2617 iudgement 4941 and righteousnesse 6666 in the earth: 776 for x3588 in these x428 things I delight, 2654 z8804 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068

 9:25 ¶ Behold, x2009 the dayes 3117 come, 935 z8802 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 that I will punish 6485 z8804 x5921 all x3605 them which are circumcised, 4135 z8803 with the vncircumcised, 6190

 9:26 Egypt, 4714 and Iudah, 3063 and Edom, 123 and the children 1121 of Ammon, 5983 and Moab, 4124 and all x3605 that are in the vtmost 7112 z8803 corners, 6285 that dwell 3427 z8802 in the wildernesse: 4057 for x3588 all x3605 these nations 1471 [are] vncircumcised, 6189 and all x3605 the house 1004 of Israel 3478 [are] vncircumcised 6189 in the heart. 3820
