Jeremiah 9:2-10

2If onlyH4310 H5414 I had a traveler’sH732 lodgeH4411 in the wildernessH4057, I would abandonH5800 my peopleH5971 and departH1980 from themH854, forH3588 they are allH3605 adulterersH5003, a crowdH6116 of faithless peopleH898.

3“They bendH1869 their tonguesH3956 like bowsH7198;liesH8267 prevailH1396 overH3808 truthH530 in the landH776.ForH3588 they proceedH3318 from evilH7451 toH413 evilH7451,and they do notH3808 take Me into accountH3045,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.4“Let everyoneH376 guardH8104 againstH5921 his neighborH7453;do notH408 trustH982 anyH3605 brotherH251,forH3588 everyH3605 brotherH251 deals craftilyH6117,and everyH3605 friendH7453 spreadsH1980 slanderH7400.5Each oneH376 betraysH2048 his friendH7453;noH3808 one tellsH1696 the truthH571.They have taughtH3925 their tonguesH3956 to lieH1696 H8267;they wear themselves outH3811 committing iniquityH5753.6You dwellH3427 1 in the midstH8432 of deceptionH4820;in their deceitH4820 they refuseH3985 to knowH3045 MeH853,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.

7ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559:

“BeholdH2005, I will refine themH6884 and test themH974,forH3588 whatH349 else can I doH6213because ofH6440 2 the daughterH1323 of My peopleH5971?8Their tonguesH3956 are deadlyH7819 arrowsH2671;they speakH1696 deceptionH4820.With his mouthH6310 a man speaksH1696 peaceH7965 toH854 his neighborH7453,but in his heartH7130 he setsH7760 a trap for himH696.9Should I notH3808 punishH6485 them forH5921 these thingsH428?declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.Should I notH3808 avengeH5358 MyselfH5315onH518 such a nationH1471 as thisH2088?”

10I will take upH5375 a weepingH1065 and wailingH5092 forH5921 the mountainsH2022,a dirgeH7015 overH5921 the wildernessH4057 pastureH4999,forH3588 they have been scorchedH3341 so noH1097 oneH376 passes throughH5674,and the lowingH6963 of cattleH4735 is notH3808 heardH8085.Both the birdsH5775 of the airH8064 andH5704 the beastsH929 have fledH5074;they have gone awayH1980.
