Jeremiah 8

1At that time, saith the LORDH3068, they shall bringH3318 outH3318 the bonesH6106 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and the bonesH6106 of his princesH8269, and the bonesH6106 of the priestsH3548, and the bonesH6106 of the prophetsH5030, and the bonesH6106 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, outH3318 of their gravesH6913: 2and they shall spreadH7849 them beforeH6440 the sunH8121, and the moonH3394, and allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, whomH834 they have lovedH157, and whomH834 they have servedH5647, and afterH310 whomH834 they have walkedH1980, and whomH834 they have soughtH1875, and whomH834 they have worshipped: they shall notH3808 be gatheredH622, norH3808 be buriedH6912; they shall be for dungH1828 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127. 3And deathH4194 shall be chosenH977 ratherH4480 thanH4480 lifeH2416 by allH3605 the residue that remainH7604 of this evilH7451 familyH4940, whichH834 remainH7604 in allH3605 the placesH4725 whither I have drivenH5080 them, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 4MoreoverH3541 thou shalt sayH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: shall menH559 fallH5307, and notH3808 riseH6965 upH6965 againH7725? shall one turnH7725 awayH7725, and notH3808 returnH7725? 5WhyH4069 then is this peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389 slidden backH7725 by a perpetual backsliding? they holdH2388 fastH2388 deceit, they refuseH3985 to returnH7725. 6I hearkened and heardH8085, but they spake notH3808 aright: noH3808 manH376 repenteth him of his wickednessH7451, sayingH559, WhatH4100 have I doneH6213? everyH3605 one turneth to his courseH4794, as a horseH5483 that rusheth headlong in the battleH4421. 7Yea, the storkH2624 in the heavenH8064 knoweth herH935 appointedH4150 timesH6256; and the turtle and the swallowH5693 and the craneH5693 observeH8104 the time of their comingH935; but my peopleH5971 knowH3045 notH3808 the ordinanceH4941 of the LORDH3068. 8HowH349 doH6213 ye sayH559, WeH587 are wiseH2450, and the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is with usH559? But, beholdH2009, the falseH8267 penH5842 of the scribesH5608 hath wrought falselyH8267. 9The wiseH2450 menH2450 are ashamedH954, they are dismayedH2865 and takenH3920: loH2009, they have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; and whatH4100 mannerH1697 of wisdomH2451 is in them? 10Therefore will I giveH5414 their wivesH802 unto othersH312, and their fieldsH7704 to them that shall possessH3423 them: for everyH3605 one from the least evenH5704 unto the greatestH1419 is givenH5414 to covetousness, from the prophetH5030 evenH5704 unto the priestH3548 everyH3605 one dealeth falselyH8267. 11And they have healedH7495 the hurt of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 lightlyH7043, sayingH559, PeaceH7965, peaceH7965; when there is noH369 peaceH7965. 12Were they ashamedH954 when they had committedH6213 abominationH8441? nay, they were notH3808 at allH3045 ashamedH954, neitherH3808 couldH1571 they blushH3637: therefore shall they fallH5307 among them that fallH5307: in the time of their visitation they shall be castH5307 downH5307, saith the LORDH3068. 13I will utterly consume them, saith the LORDH3068: there shall be noH369 grapesH6025 on the vineH1612, norH369 figsH8384 on the figH8384 treeH8384, and the leafH5929 shall fadeH5486; and the things that I have givenH5414 them shall passH5674 awayH622 from them. 14WhyH4100 doH4100 weH587 sitH3427 stillH3427? assembleH622 yourselves, and let usH413 enterH935 intoH413 the defenced citiesH5892, and let usH413 be silent there: for the LORDH3068 our GodH430 hath putH935 usH413 to silence, and givenH8248 usH413 waterH4325 of gallH7219 to drinkH8248, becauseH3588 weH587 have sinnedH2398 againstH5921 the LORDH3068. 15We lookedH2009 for peaceH7965, but noH369 goodH2896 came; and for a time of healingH4832, and beholdH2009 dismay! 16The snorting of his horsesH5483 is heardH8085 from DanH1835: at the soundH6963 of the neighingH4684 of his strongH47 onesH47 the wholeH3605 landH776 trembleth; for they are comeH935, and have devouredH398 the landH776 and allH3605 that is in it; the cityH5892 and thoseH3605 that dwellH3427 therein. 17For, beholdH2005, I will sendH7971 serpentsH5175, basilisks, among youH834, whichH834 will notH369 be charmedH3908; and they shall bite youH834, saith the LORDH3068. 18Oh that I could comfort myselfH3820 againstH5921 sorrowH3015! my heartH3820 is faintH1742 withinH5921 meH5921. 19BeholdH2009, the voiceH6963 of the cryH7775 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 from a landH776 that is very farH4801 offH4801: Is notH369 the LORDH3068 in ZionH6726? is notH369 herH518 KingH4428 in herH518? WhyH4069 have they provokedH3707 meH6963 to angerH3707 with their gravenH6456 imagesH6456, and with strangeH5236 vanitiesH1892? 20The harvestH7105 is past, the summerH7019 is endedH3615, and weH587 are notH3808 savedH3467. 21For the hurtH7665 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 am I hurtH7665: I am blackH6937; astonishment hath takenH2388 holdH2388 on meH5921. 22Is there noH3808 balmH6875 in GileadH1568? is there noH3808 physicianH7495 there? whyH4069 then is notH3808 the healthH724 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 recovered?
