Jeremiah 9:17-25

17ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “ConsiderH995 and callH7121 for the 1mourningH6969 womenH6969, that they may comeH935; And sendH7971 for the 23wailingH2450 womenH2450, that they may comeH935!18Let them makeH4116 hasteH4116 and takeH5375 up a wailingH5092 for us, That our 4eyesH5869 may shedH3381 tearsH1832 And our eyelidsH6079 flowH5140 with waterH4325.19For a voiceH6963 of 5wailingH5092 is heardH8085 from ZionH6726, ‘6HowH349 are we ruinedH7703! We are putH954 to greatH3966 shameH954, For we have 7leftH5800 the landH776, BecauseH3588 they have castH7993 downH7993 our dwellingsH4908.’”20NowH3588 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, O you 8womenH802, And let your earH241 receiveH3947 the wordH1697 of His mouthH6310; TeachH3925 your daughtersH1323 wailingH5092, And everyoneH802 her neighborH7468 a dirgeH7015.21For 9deathH4194 has comeH5927 up through our windowsH2474; It has enteredH935 our palacesH759 To cutH3772 offH3772 the 10childrenH5768 from the streetsH2351, The youngH970 menH970 from the townH7339 squaresH7339.22SpeakH1696, “ThusH3541 saysH5002 the LordH3068, ‘The corpsesH5038 of menH120 will fallH5307 11like dungH1828 on the openH6440 fieldH7704, And like the sheafH5995 afterH4480H310 the reaperH7114, But noH369 oneH369 will gatherH622 them.’”

23ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “12Let not a wiseH2450 manH2450 boastH1984 of his wisdomH2451, and let not the 13mightyH1368 manH1368 boastH1984 of his mightH1369, let not a 14richH6223 manH6223 boastH1984 of his richesH6239; 24but let him who boastsH1984 15boastH1984 of thisH2088, that he understandsH7919 and knowsH3045 Me, that I am the LordH3068 who 16exercisesH6213 lovingkindnessH2617, justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666 on earthH776; for I 17delightH2654 in theseH428 thingsH428,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

25“BeholdH2009, the daysH3117 are comingH935,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “that I will punishH6485 allH3605 who are circumcisedH4135 and yet 18uncircumcisedH6190--
