Chapter 9 O that my head were waters,
and mine eyes a fountain of tears,

00:05.380 --> 00:08.440
that I might weep day and night for the
slain of the daughter of my people!

00:09.220 --> 00:12.640
O that I had in the wilderness a
lodging-place of wayfaring men,

00:13.100 --> 00:15.240
that I might leave my people and go from
them!

00:16.120 --> 00:21.180
For they be all adulterers, an assembly of
treacherous men, and they bend their

00:21.180 --> 00:22.720
tongues like their bow for lies.

00:23.400 --> 00:27.200
But they are not valiant for the truth
upon the earth, for they proceed from evil

00:27.200 --> 00:29.660
to evil, and they know not me,
saith the Lord.

00:30.440 --> 00:34.040
Take ye heed every one of his neighbour,
and trust ye not in any brother.

00:34.700 --> 00:38.080
For every brother will utterly supplant,
and every neighbour will walk with

00:38.080 --> 00:38.620
slanders.

00:39.320 --> 00:42.640
And they will deceive every one his
neighbour, and will not speak the truth.

00:43.160 --> 00:46.760
They have taught their tongue to speak
lies, and weary themselves to commit

00:46.760 --> 00:47.300
iniquity.

00:48.160 --> 00:50.200
Thy inhabitation is in the midst of
deceit.

00:50.880 --> 00:53.720
Through deceit they refuse to know me,
saith the Lord.

00:54.500 --> 00:59.220
Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts,
Behold, I will milk them, and try them.

00:59.820 --> 01:01.780
For how shall I do for the daughter of my
people?

01:02.660 --> 01:05.900
Their tongue is as an arrow shot out,
it speaketh deceit.

01:06.520 --> 01:10.460
One speaketh peaceably to his neighbour
with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his

01:10.460 --> 01:10.760
weight.

01:11.820 --> 01:13.980
Shall I not visit them for these things,
saith the Lord?

01:14.580 --> 01:17.300
Shall not my soul be avenged on such a
nation as this?

01:18.120 --> 01:22.020
For the mountains will I take up a weeping
and a wailing, and for the habitations of

01:22.020 --> 01:26.400
the wilderness a lamentation, because they
are burned up, so that none can pass

01:26.400 --> 01:26.880
through them.

01:27.800 --> 01:29.500
Neither can men hear the voice of the
cattle.

01:30.240 --> 01:33.340
Both the fowl of the heavens and the beast
are fled, they are gone.

01:34.160 --> 01:36.960
And I will make Jerusalem heaps,
and a den of dragons.

01:37.800 --> 01:40.840
And I will make the cities of Judah
desolate, without an inhabitant.

01:41.600 --> 01:43.820
Who is the wise man that may understand
this?

01:44.460 --> 01:48.420
And who is he to whom the mouth of the
Lord hath spoken, that he may declare it,

01:48.820 --> 01:52.900
for what the land perisheth, and is burned
up like a wilderness, that none passeth

01:52.900 --> 01:53.200
through?

01:54.320 --> 01:58.880
And the Lord saith, Because they have
forsaken my law, which I set before them,

01:59.140 --> 02:03.360
and have not obeyed my voice, neither
walked therein, but have walked after the

02:03.360 --> 02:07.140
imagination of their own heart,
and after Balaam, which their fathers

02:07.140 --> 02:07.740
taught them.

02:08.580 --> 02:13.640
Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed

02:13.640 --> 02:17.520
them, even this people, with wormwood,
and give them water of gall to drink.

02:18.120 --> 02:21.700
I will scatter them also among the
heathen, whom neither they nor their

02:21.700 --> 02:22.500
fathers have known.

02:23.140 --> 02:26.620
And I will send a sword after them,
till I have consumed them.

02:27.760 --> 02:31.900
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider ye,
and call for the mourning women,

02:32.420 --> 02:35.840
that they may come, and send for cunning
women, that they may come.

02:36.320 --> 02:40.880
And let them make haste, and take up a
wailing for us, that our eyes may run down

02:40.880 --> 02:43.700
with tears, and our eyelids gush out with
waters.

02:44.260 --> 02:46.560
For a voice of wailing is heard out of
Zion.

02:47.340 --> 02:48.280
How are we spoiled?

02:48.920 --> 02:52.860
We are greatly confounded, because we have
forsaken the land, because our dwellings

02:52.860 --> 02:53.760
have cast us out.

02:54.680 --> 02:58.220
Yet hear the word of the Lord,
O ye women, and let your ear receive the

02:58.220 --> 03:01.820
word of his mouth, and teach your
daughters wailing, and every one her

03:01.820 --> 03:02.900
neighbour lamentation.

03:02.900 --> 03:07.420
For death is come up into our windows,
and is entered into our palaces,

03:08.000 --> 03:11.660
to cut off the children from without,
and the young men from the streets.

03:12.520 --> 03:13.000
Speak.

03:13.780 --> 03:14.720
Thus saith the Lord.

03:15.340 --> 03:19.480
Even the carcasses of men shall fall as
dung upon the open field, and as the

03:19.480 --> 03:22.340
handful after the harvestmen, and none
shall gather them.

03:23.000 --> 03:23.860
Thus saith the Lord.

03:24.560 --> 03:29.180
Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
neither let the mighty man glory in his

03:29.180 --> 03:29.480
might.

03:29.480 --> 03:35.240
Let not the rich man glory in his riches,
but let him that glorieth glory in this,

03:35.700 --> 03:39.800
that he understandeth and knoweth me,
that I am the Lord which exercise

03:39.800 --> 03:43.220
lovingkindness, judgment, and
righteousness in the earth.

03:44.100 --> 03:46.660
For in these things I delight,
saith the Lord.

03:47.420 --> 03:51.720
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
that I will punish all them which are

03:51.720 --> 03:54.380
circumcised with the uncircumcised.

03:55.000 --> 04:00.160
Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the
children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that

04:00.160 --> 04:02.300
are in the utmost corners that dwell in
the wilderness.

04:03.000 --> 04:06.800
For all these nations are uncircumcised,
and all the house of Israel are

04:06.800 --> 04:08.400
uncircumcised in the heart.
