Jeremiah 8

The Sin and Treachery of Judah

1

"At that timeh6256," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "they will  abringh3318 out the bonesh6106 of the kingsh4428 of Judahh3063 and the bonesh6106 of its princesh8269, and the bonesh6106 of the priestsh3548 and the bonesh6106 of the prophetsh5030, and the bonesh6106 of the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389 from their gravesh6913.

2

"They will spreadh7849 them out to the sunh8121, the moonh3394 and to allh3605 the  ahosth6635 of heavenh8064, whichh834 they have lovedh157 and whichh834 they have servedh5647, and whichh834 they have goneh1980 afterh310 and whichh834 they have soughth1875, and whichh834 they have worshipedh7812. They will not be gatheredh622  bor buriedh6912;  cthey will be as dungh1828 on the faceh6440 of the groundh127.

3

"And  adeathh4194 will be chosenh977 ratherh4480 thanh4480 lifeh2425b by allh3605 the remnanth7611 that remainsh7604 of thish384 evilh7451a familyh4940, that remainsh7604 in allh3605 the  bplacesh4725 to whichh834 I have drivenh5080 them," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635.

4

"You shall sayh559 to them, `Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "Do men  afallh5307 and not geth6965 up again? Does one turnh7725 awayh7725 and not  1repenth7725?

5

"Whyh4069 then has thish2088 peopleh5971a, Jerusalemh3389,  aTurnedh7725 awayh7725 in continualh5329 apostasyh4878? They  bholdh2388 fasth2388 to deceith8649b, They  crefuseh3985 to returnh7725.

6

"I  ahave listenedh7181 and heardh8085, They have spokenh1696 whath3653a is not righth3653a;  bNoh369 manh376 repentedh5162 of his wickednessh7463a, Sayingh559, `Whath4100 have I doneh6213a?' Everyoneh3605 turnedh7725 to his courseh4794, Like a  chorseh5483b chargingh7857 into the battleh4421.

7

"Evenh1571 the storkh2624 in the skyh8064  aKnowsh3045 her seasonsh4150; And the  bturtledoveh8449 and the swifth5483a and the thrushh5693 Observeh8104 the timeh6256 of their  1migrationh935; But  cMy peopleh5971a do not knowh3045 The ordinanceh4941 of the LORDh3068.

8

aHowh351a can you sayh559, `We are wiseh2450, And the lawh8451 of the LORDh3068 is with us'? But beholdh2009, the lyingh8267 penh5842 of the scribesh5613b Has madeh6213a it into a lieh8267.

9

"The wiseh2450 menh2450 are  aputh954 to shameh954, They are dismayedh2865 and caughth3920; Beholdh2009, they have  brejectedh3988a the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, And whath4100 kind of wisdomh2451 do they have?

10

"Thereforeh3651 I will  agiveh5414 their wivesh802 to othersh312, Their fieldsh7704 to  1newh3423 ownersh3423; Becauseh3588 from the leasth6996a even to the greatesth1419 Everyoneh3605 is  bgreedyh1214 for gainh1215; From the propheth5030 even to the priesth3548 Everyoneh3605 practicesh6213a deceith8267.

11

"They  ahealh7495 the brokennessh7667 of the daughterh1323 of My peopleh5971a superficiallyh7043, Sayingh559, `Peaceh7965, peaceh7965,' But thereh369 is noh369 peaceh7965.

12

"Were they  aashamedh954 becauseh3588 of the abominationh8441 they had doneh6213a? They certainlyh1571 were not ashamedh954, And they did not knowh3045 how to blushh3637; Thereforeh3651 they shall  bfallh5307 among those who fallh5307; At the  ctimeh6256 of their punishmenth6486 they shall be broughth3782 downh3782," Saysh559 the LORDh3068.

13

"I will  asurelyh5486 snatchh5486 them awayh5486," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068; "Thereh369 will be  bnoh369 grapesh6025 on the vineh1612 And  cnoh369 figsh8384 on the figh8384 treeh8384, And the leafh5929 will witherh5034b; And what I have givenh5414 them will passh5674a awayh5674a.""'

14

Whyh5921h4100 are we sittingh3427 stillh3427?  aAssembleh622 yourselves, and let us  bgoh935 into the fortifiedh4013 citiesh5892b And let us perishh1826a thereh8033, Becauseh3588 the LORDh3068 our Godh430 has doomedh1826a us And givenh8248 us  cpoisonedh7219 waterh4325 to drinkh8248, For  dwe have sinnedh2398 against the LORDh3068.

15

We  awaitedh6960a for peaceh7965, but noh369 goodh2896b came; For a timeh6256 of healingh4832, but beholdh2009, terrorh1205!

16

From  aDanh1835 is heardh8085 the snortingh5170b of his horsesh5483b; At the soundh6963 of the neighingh4684 of his  bstallionsh47 The wholeh3605 landh776 quakesh7493; For they comeh935 and  cdevourh398 the landh776 and its fullnessh4393, The cityh5892b and its inhabitantsh3427.

17

"For beholdh2009, I am  asendingh7971 serpentsh5175 against you, Addersh6848b, for whichh834 thereh369 is  bnoh369 charmh3908, And they will biteh5391a you," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

18

 1My  asorrowh3015 is beyond healingh4010, My  bhearth3820 is fainth1742 within me!

19

Beholdh2009, listenh6963! The cryh7775 of the daughterh1323 of my peopleh5971a from a  adistanth4801 landh776: "Is the LORDh3068 not in Zionh6726? Is her Kingh4428 not within her?" "Whyh4069 have they  bprovokedh3707 Me with their gravenh6456 imagesh6456, with foreignh5236  1 cidolsh1892?"

20

"Harvesth7105a is pasth5674a, summerh7019c is endedh3615, And we are not savedh3467."

21

For the  abrokennessh7667 of the daughterh1323 of my peopleh5971a I am brokenh7665; I  bmournh6937, dismayh8047 has takenh2388 holdh2388 of me.

22

Is thereh369 noh369  abalmh6875 in Gileadh1568? Is thereh369 noh369 physicianh7495 thereh8033?  bWhyh4069 thenh3588 has not the  1healthh724 of the daughterh1323 of my peopleh5971a  2been restoredh5927?
