CHAPTER 9
Jeremiah 9:1
1 Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I
might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
Jeremiah 9:2
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I
might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an
assembly of treacherous men.
Jeremiah 9:3
3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not
valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil,
and they know not me, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 9:4
4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother:
for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with
slanders.
Jeremiah 9:5
5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the
truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to
commit iniquity.
Jeremiah 9:6
6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to
know me, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 9:7
7 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try
them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people? Jeremiah 9:8
8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh
peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
Jeremiah 9:9
9 Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my
soul be avenged on such a nation as this? Jeremiah 9:10
10 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the
habitations 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 fowl  of the heavens  and the beast  are fled;  they are
gone.
Jeremiah 9:11
11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make
the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant. Jeremiah 9:12
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the
mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land
perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
Jeremiah 9:13
13 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before
them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; Jeremiah 9:14
14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after
Baalim, which their fathers taught them: Jeremiah 9:15
15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I
will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of
gall to drink.
Jeremiah 9:16
16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their
fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have
consumed them.
Jeremiah 9:17
17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning
women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:
Jeremiah 9:18
18 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may
run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters. Jeremiah 9:19
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are
greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our
dwellings have cast us out.
Jeremiah 9:20
20 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the
word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her
neighbour  lamentation.
Jeremiah 9:21
21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces,
to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
Jeremiah 9:22
22 Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung
upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none
shall gather  them.
Jeremiah 9:23
23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither
let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his
riches:
Jeremiah 9:24
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and
knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and
righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 9:25
25 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which
are circumcised with the uncircumcised; Jeremiah 9:26
26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all
that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these
nations are uncircumcised,  and all the house  of Israel  are uncircumcised
in the heart.
CHAPTER 10
Jeremiah 10:1
1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: Jeremiah 10:2
2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not
dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Jeremiah 10:3
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the
forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. Jeremiah 10:4
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and
with hammers, that it move not.
Jeremiah 10:5
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be
borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do
evil, neither also is it in them to do good. Jeremiah 10:6
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and
thy name is great in might.
Jeremiah 10:7
7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it
appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all
their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee. Jeremiah 10:8
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
Jeremiah 10:9
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz,
the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple
is their clothing:  they are all the work  of cunning  men. Jeremiah 10:10
10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting
king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be
able to abide his indignation.
Jeremiah 10:11
11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and
the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these
heavens.
Jeremiah 10:12
12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by
his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. Jeremiah
10:13
13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the
heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth;
he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth  the wind  out of his
treasures.
Jeremiah 10:14
14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by
the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath
in them.
Jeremiah 10:15
15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation
they shall perish.
Jeremiah 10:16
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all
things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his
name.
Jeremiah 10:17
17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. Jeremiah 10:18
18 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the
land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
Jeremiah 10:19
19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a
grief, and I must bear it.
Jeremiah 10:20
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are
gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent
any more, and to set up my curtains. Jeremiah 10:21
21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD:
therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
Jeremiah 10:22
22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the
north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.
Jeremiah 10:23
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man
that walketh to direct his steps.
Jeremiah 10:24
24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou
bring me to nothing.
Jeremiah 10:25
25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the
families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and
devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
CHAPTER 11
Jeremiah 11:1
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Jeremiah 11:2
2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and
to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
Jeremiah 11:3
3 And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the
man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant, Jeremiah 11:4
4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out
of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do
them, according to all which I command  you: so shall ye be my people,  and
I will be your God:
Jeremiah 11:5
5 That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give
them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered
I, and said, So be it,  O LORD.
Jeremiah 11:6
6 Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of
Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this
covenant, and do  them.
Jeremiah 11:7
7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought
them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and
protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
Jeremiah 11:8
8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the
imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the
words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do;  but they did  them
not.
Jeremiah 11:9
9 And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah,
and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Jeremiah 11:10
10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which
refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the
house of Israel  and the house  of Judah  have broken  my covenant  which I
made  with their fathers.
Jeremiah 11:11
11 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them,
which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me,
I will not hearken unto them.
Jeremiah 11:12
12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry
unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at
all in the time of their trouble.
Jeremiah 11:13
13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and
according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars
to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense  unto Baal. Jeremiah
11:14
14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer
for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for
their trouble.
Jeremiah 11:15
15 What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought
lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest
evil, then thou rejoicest.
Jeremiah 11:16
16 The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit:
with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire  upon it, and the
branches  of it are broken.
Jeremiah 11:17
17 For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against
thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which
they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger  in offering
incense  unto Baal.
Jeremiah 11:18
18 And the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou
shewedst me their doings.
Jeremiah 11:19
19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I
knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy
the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land  of
the living,  that his name  may be no more remembered. Jeremiah 11:20
20 But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins
and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I
revealed my cause.
Jeremiah 11:21
21 Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy
life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by
our hand: Jeremiah 11:22
22 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the
young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die
by famine:
Jeremiah 11:23
23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the
men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation. CHAPTER 12
Jeremiah 12:1
1 Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with
thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper?
wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? Jeremiah 12:2
2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they
bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
Jeremiah 12:3
3 But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart
toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them
for the day of slaughter.
Jeremiah 12:4
4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for
the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the
birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end. Jeremiah 12:5
5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how
canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou
trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of
Jordan?
Jeremiah 12:6
6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt
treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee:
believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee. Jeremiah 12:7
7 I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the
dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. Jeremiah 12:8
8 Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against
me: therefore have I hated it.
Jeremiah 12:9
9 Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are
against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
Jeremiah 12:10
10 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion
under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Jeremiah 12:11
11 They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the
whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart. Jeremiah
12:12
12 The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for
the sword of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the land even to the
other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace. Jeremiah 12:13
13 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to
pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues
because of the fierce anger of the LORD. Jeremiah 12:14
14 Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the
inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will
pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house  of Judah  from among
them.
Jeremiah 12:15
15 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will
return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man
to his heritage, and every man to his land. Jeremiah 12:16
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my
people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to
swear by Baal; then shall they be built  in the midst  of my people.
Jeremiah 12:17
17 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that
nation, saith the LORD.
