Why then is not the health of the daughter of My people
recovered? 2047
9
Oh that my head were mayim, and my eyes a fountain
of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of
the daughter of My people!
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of
travelers; that I might leave My people, and go from
them! For they are all adulterers, a congregation of
perverted men.
3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but
they are not brave for the emet upon the earth; for they
proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know Me, says
vuvh tzevaoth.
4 Take heed every one of his neighbor and trust not in any
brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every
neighbor will walk with the slanderers. 2048
5 And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will
not speak the emet: they have taught their tongue to speak
lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
6 Your dwelling is in the midst of deceit; through deceit
they refuse to know Me, says vuvh.
7 Therefore this says vuvh tzevaoth, See, I will melt them,
and try them; for what shall I do because of the daughter
of My people?
8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaks deceit:
one speaks with shalom to his neighbor with his mouth,
but in lev he sets an ambush.
9 Shall I not visit them with punishment for these things?
Says vuvh: Shall not My being be avenged on such a
nation as this?
10 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and
wailing, and for the dwellings of the wilderness a
lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none
can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of
the cattle; both the fowls of the shamayim and the beasts
are fled; they are gone.
11 And I will make Yahrushalayim into heaps, and a den
of jackals; and I will make the cities of Yahudah desolate,
without an inhabitant.
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? And
who is he to whom the mouth of vuvh has spoken, that he
may declare it? For the land perishes and is burned up
like a wilderness, so that none passes through.
13 And vuvh says, Because they have forsaken My Torah
which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice,
neither had their walk in it;
14 But have had their walk after the imagination of their
own lev, and after Ba’alim, which their ahvot have taught
them:
15 Therefore this says vuvh tzevaoth, the Elohim of
Yisrael; See, I will feed them, even this people, with
wormwood, 2049 and give them mayim of poison to
drink. 2050
16 I will scatter them also among the gentiles, whom
neither they nor their ahvot have known: and I will send a
sword after them, until I have consumed them.
17 This says vuvh tzevaoth, Use discernment, and call for
the mourning women, that they may come; and send for
wise women, that they may come:
18 And let them hurry, and take up a wailing for us, that
our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush
out with mayim.
YIRMEYAHU - JEREMIAH
- 311 -
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Tzion, How are
we plundered! We are greatly ashamed, because we have
forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.
20 Yet hear the word of vuvh, O you women, and let your
ear receive the word of His mouth, and teach your
daughters wailing, and everyone her neighbor a
lamentation.
21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered
into our palaces, to cut off the children from going
outside, and the young men from the streets.
22 Speak, this says vuvh, Even the corpses of men shall
fall as dung upon the open field, and as that which is cut
by the reapers, and none shall gather them.
23 This says vuvh, Let not the wise man tifereth in his
chochmah, neither let the mighty man tifereth in his
might, let not the rich man tifereth in his riches:
24 But let him that boasts, boast in this, that he
understands and knows Me, 2051 that I am vuvh who
exercises loving-kindness, mishpat, and tzedakah, in the
earth: for in these things I delight, says vuvh.
25 See, the days come, says vuvh, that I will punish all
those who have performed brit-milah 2052 with the
uncircumcised; 2053
26 Mitzrayim, and Yahudah, and Edom, and the children
of Ammon, and Moav, and all that are in the farthest
corners; that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations
are uncircumcised, and all of Beit Yisrael among them
2054 are uncircumcised in the lev.
10
Hear the word that vuvh speaks to you, O Beit
Yisrael: 2055
2 This says vuvh, Learn not the derech of the heathen,
and be not broken at the signs of the shamayim; for the
heathen are broken with them.
3 For the customs of the nations are worthless: for one
cuts an eytz out of the forest, the work of the hands of the
workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it
with nails and with hammers, so that it does not move
around. 2056
5 They are upright as the palm eytz, but speak not: they
must be carried, because they cannot walk. Be not afraid
of them; for they cannot do evil, neither can they do tov.
6 Forasmuch as there is none like You, O vuvh; You are
2057 2058
great, and Your Name is great in might.
7 Who would not fear You, O Melech of nations? For to
You does it apply: because among all the wise men of the
nations, and in all their malchutim, there is none like You.
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the eytz is a
doctrine of vanities. 2059
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and
gold from Uphaz, the work of the smith, and of the hands
of the refiner: blue and purple is their clothing: they are
all the work of skilled workers.
10 But vuvh is the emet Elohim, He is the living Elohim,
and an everlasting Melech: at His wrath the earth shall
tremble, and the nations shall not be able to stay His
displeasure.
11 This shall you say to them, The elohim that have not
made the shamayim and the earth, shall perish from the
earth, and from under these shamayim.
12 He has made the earth by His power, He has
established the olam by His chochmah, and has stretched
