Jeremiah 8

1 The calamity of the Jews, both dead and alive. 4 He upbraideth their foolish and shameless impenitency. 13 He sheweth their grievous judgment, 18 and bewaileth their desperate estate.

 8:1 ¶ At that x1931 time, 6256 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 they shall bring out 3318 z8686 x853 the bones 6106 of the kings 4428 of Judah, 3063 and the bones 6106 of his princes, 8269 and the bones 6106 of the priests, 3548 and the bones 6106 of the prophets, 5030 and the bones 6106 of the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Jerusalem, 3389 out of their graves: 6913 x4480

 8:2 And they shall spread 7849 z8804 them before the sun, 8121 and the moon, 3394 and all x3605 the host 6635 of heaven, 8064 whom x834 they have loved, 157 z8804 and whom x834 they have served, 5647 z8804 and after 310 whom x834 they have walked, 1980 z8804 and whom x834 they have sought, 1875 z8804 and whom x834 they have worshipped: 7812 z8694 they shall not x3808 be gathered, 622 z8735 nor x3808 be buried; 6912 z8735 they shall be x1961 for dung 1828 upon x5921 the face 6440 of the earth. 127

 8:3 And death 4194 shall be chosen 977 z8738 rather than life 2416 x4480 by all x3605 the residue 7611 of them that remain 7604 z8737 of x4480 this x2063 evil 7451 family, 4940 which remain 7604 z8737 in all x3605 the places 4725 whither x834 x8033 I have driven 5080 z8689 them, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD 3068 of hosts. 6635

 8:4 ¶ Moreover thou shalt say 559 z8804 unto x413 them, Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD; 3068 Shall they fall, 5307 z8799 and not x3808 arise? 6965 z8799 shall he turn away, 7725 z8799 and not x3808 return? 7725 z8799

 8:5 Why x4069 [then] is this x2088 people 5971 of Jerusalem 3389 slidden back 7725 z8790 by a perpetual 5329 z8737 backsliding? 4878 they hold y2388 z8689 fast x2388 deceit, 8649 they refuse 3985 z8765 to return. 7725 z8800

 8:6 I hearkened 7181 z8689 and heard, 8085 z8799 [but] they spake x1696 not x3808 aright: y1696 z8762 x3651 no x369 man 376 repented 5162 z8737 him of 5921 his wickedness, 7451 saying, 559 z8800 What x4100 have I done? 6213 z8804 every one x3605 turned 7725 z8804 to his course, 4794 as the horse 5483 rusheth 7857 z8802 into the battle. 4421

 8:7 Yea, x1571 the stork 2624 in the heaven 8064 knoweth 3045 z8804 her appointed times; 4150 and the turtle 8449 and the crane 5483 and the swallow 5693 observe 8104 z8804 x853 the time 6256 of their coming; 935 z8800 but my people 5971 know 3045 z8804 not x3808 x853 the judgment 4941 of the LORD. 3068

 8:8 How x349 do ye say, 559 z8799 We x587 [are] wise, 2450 and the law 8451 of the LORD 3068 [is] with x854 us? Lo, x2009 certainly 403 in vain 8267 made 6213 z8804 he [it]; the pen 5842 of the scribes 5608 z8802 [is] in vain. 8267

 8:9 The wise 2450 [men] are ashamed, y3001 z8689 x954 they are dismayed 2865 z8804 and taken: 3920 z8735 lo, x2009 they have rejected 3988 z8804 the word 1697 of the LORD; 3068 and what x4100 wisdom 2451 [is] in them?

 8:10 Therefore x3651 will I give 5414 z8799 x853 their wives 802 unto others, 312 [and] their fields 7704 to them that shall inherit 3423 z8802 [them]: for x3588 every one x3605 from the least 6996 x4480 even unto x5704 the greatest 1419 is given y1214 z8802 to covetousness, 1215 x1214 from the prophet 5030 x4480 even unto x5704 the priest 3548 every one x3605 dealeth 6213 z8802 falsely. 8267

 8:11 For they have healed 7495 z8762 x853 the hurt 7667 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971 slightly, 7043 z8738 saying, 559 z8800 Peace, 7965 peace; 7965 when [there is] no x369 peace. 7965

 8:12 Were they ashamed y3001 z8689 x954 when x3588 they had committed 6213 z8804 abomination? 8441 nay, x1571 they were not x3808 at all y954 z8800 ashamed, 954 z8799 neither x3808 could 3045 z8804 they blush: 3637 z8736 therefore x3651 shall they fall 5307 z8799 among them that fall: 5307 z8802 in the time 6256 of their visitation 6486 they shall be cast down, 3782 z8735 saith 559 z8804 the LORD. 3068

 8:13 ¶ I will surely y622 z8800 consume 5486 z8686 them, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD: 3068 [there shall be] no x369 grapes 6025 on the vine, 1612 nor x369 figs 8384 on the fig tree, 8384 and the leaf 5929 shall fade; 5034 z8804 and [the things that] I have given 5414 z8799 them shall pass away 5674 z8799 from them.

 8:14 Why x4100 x5921 do we x587 sit x3427 still? y3427 z8802 assemble y622 z8734 yourselves, x622 and let us enter 935 z8799 into x413 the defenced 4013 cities, 5892 and let us be silent 1826 z8735 there: x8033 for x3588 the LORD 3068 our God 430 hath put us to silence, 1826 z8689 and given us water 4325 of gall 7219 to drink, 8248 z8686 because x3588 we have sinned 2398 z8804 against the LORD. 3068

 8:15 We looked 6960 z8763 for peace, 7965 but no x369 good 2896 [came; and] for a time 6256 of health, 4832 and behold x2009 trouble! 1205

 8:16 The snorting 5170 of his horses 5483 was heard 8085 z8738 from Dan: 1835 x4480 the whole x3605 land 776 trembled 7493 z8804 at the sound 6963 x4480 of the neighing 4684 of his strong ones; 47 for they are come, 935 z8799 and have devoured 398 z8799 the land, 776 and all 4393 that is in it; the city, 5892 and those that dwell 3427 z8802 therein.

 8:17 For, x3588 behold, x2009 I will send 7971 z8764 serpents, 5175 cockatrices, 6848 among you, which x834 [will] not x369 [be] charmed, 3908 and they shall bite 5391 z8765 you, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068

 8:18 ¶ [When] I would comfort 4010 myself against x5921 sorrow, 3015 my heart 3820 [is] faint 1742 in x5921 me.

 8:19 Behold x2009 the voice 6963 of the cry 7775 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971 because of them that dwell in a far 4801 country: 776 x4480 [Is] not x369 the LORD 3068 in Zion? 6726 [is] not x369 her king 4428 in her? Why x4069 have they provoked me to anger 3707 z8689 with their graven images, 6456 [and] with strange 5236 vanities? 1892

 8:20 The harvest 7105 is past, 5674 z8804 the summer 7019 is ended, 3615 z8804 and we x587 are not x3808 saved. 3467 z8738

 8:21 For x5921 the hurt 7667 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971 am I hurt; 7665 z8717 I am black; 6937 z8804 astonishment 8047 hath taken hold 2388 z8689 on me.

 8:22 [Is there] no x369 balm 6875 in Gilead; 1568 [is there] no x369 physician 7495 z8802 there? x8033 why x4069 then 3588 is not x3808 the health 724 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971 recovered? 5927 z8804
