King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
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 !
Who
doth
make
my head waters, And mine eye
a fountain of tears ?
And
I weep by
day and by
night ,
For the wounded
of the daughter of my people .
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
.
Who
doth
give
me
in a
wilderness A lodging -
place of travellers?
And
I leave my people, and go from them ,
For all of
them
`are'
adulterers, An assembly of treacherous ones
.
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.
And they bend their tongue,
their bow `is'
a
lie,
And
not for stedfastness
have
they
been
mighty
in
the land,
For from evil unto
evil they
have
gone
forth
, And Me
they have
not known
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah!
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.
Each
of his friend
--
beware
ye
, And on
any brother ,
do
not
trust,
For every brother doth
utterly supplant, For
every friend
slanderously
doth
walk ,
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.
And each
at
his friend
they
mock
, And truth
they
do
not speak ,
They taught their tongue to speak falsehood
, To commit iniquity they
have
laboured
.
Thine
habitation
is in the midst of deceit ;
through deceit they refuse
to know me, saith
the
LORD
.
thy
dwelling
`
is '
in the midst of deceit ,
Through deceit they refused
to know Me, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
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?
Therefore ,
thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts :
Lo
, I am
refining
them, and have
tried
them ,
For how do
I do because
of
the daughter of My people?
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.
A
slaughtering
arrow
`is'
their tongue ,
Deceit it
hath
spoken
in
its
mouth, Peace
with
its
neighbour
it
speaketh,
And
in its
heart it
layeth its
ambush,
Shall
I
not
visit
them
for these things ?
saith
the
LORD:
shall
not my
soul
be
avenged
on
such
a nation as this?
For these things do
not I
see
after
them?
An
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
Against
a nation such
as this doth
not
My
soul
avenge
itself
?
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.
For the mountains I lift
up weeping and wailing, And for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, For
they have
been
burnt
up without
any
passing
over
, Nor
have
they
heard
the voice of cattle ,
From
the fowl of the heavens unto
the beast they
have
fled ,
they have
gone.
And I will
make Jerusalem heaps, and
a den
of dragons ;
and I
will
make
the cities of Judah desolate
, without an
inhabitant.
And I make Jerusalem become
heaps, A habitation
of dragons ,
And the cities of Judah I
make
a
desolation
, Without inhabitant.
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 ?
Who `
is '
the wise man? and he understandeth
this,
And
he
to whom the mouth of Jehovah
spake?
And
he doth
declare it, For what hath
the land perished?
It
hath
been
burnt
up as
a wilderness, Without
any
passing
through .
And the
LORD
saith ,
Because they
have
forsaken
my law which
I set before them, and have not obeyed
my voice ,
neither
walked therein;
And Jehovah
saith :
Because of
their
forsaking
My law that
I set before them, And they
have not hearkened
to
My voice nor
walked in
it,
But
have
walked
after the imagination
of their own
heart, and after Baalim, which
their fathers taught them :
And
they
walk
after the stubbornness
of their heart, And after the
Baalim, that
their fathers taught them ,
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.
Therefore ,
thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel :
Lo
, I am
causing
them --
this people --
to
eat
wormwood, And I
have
caused
them to
drink
water of gall ,
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.
And
I have
scattered
them among nations
Which
they
knew
not
, they and
their fathers ,
And have
sent
after them the
sword
, Till I have consumed them.
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 :
Thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts :
Consider ye, and call for mourning women, And
they come ,
And to
the
wise
women send
, and
they come ,
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.
And they
hasten
, and lift
up for us a
wailing.
And
run down our
eyes
do
tears, And from
our eyelids do
waters flow
.
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
.
For --
a voice of wailing is heard from
Zion :
How have
we been
spoiled! We have
been
greatly ashamed
, Because we have forsaken the land, Because they
have cast down
our
tabernacles
.
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.
But
hear, ye women, a
word
of
Jehovah,
And your ear receiveth
a
word of His mouth, And teach ye
your daughters wailing, and each
her neighbour lamentation.
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
.
For death hath
come up into our windows, It
hath
come
into our palaces, To cut off the suckling
from without, Young men from the broad
places
.
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
.
Speak thus --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And
fallen
hath
the carcase
of man,
As dung on
the face
of
the
field, And as a
handful after the reaper
, And there
is
none gathering
.
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 :
Thus said
Jehovah:
Let not the wise boast
himself
in his wisdom, Nor
let the mighty boast
himself
in his might, Let not the rich boast
himself
in his riches ,
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
.
But --
in this let
the
boaster
boast
himself
, In
understanding
and knowing
Me, For
I `
am '
Jehovah
, doing
kindness,
Judgment, and righteousness, in the earth ,
For in these I have
delighted
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
Behold
, the
days come,
saith
the
LORD
, that
I will
punish
all them
which
are
circumcised with
the uncircumcised;
Lo
, days are
coming
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And
I have
laid
a
charge
on
all circumcised in
the foreskin,
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 .
On
Egypt, and on
Judah, and on
Edom, And on
the sons
of Ammon, and on
Moab, And on
all cutting
the corner
`of
the
beard'
, Who
are
dwelling
in the wilderness ,
For all the
nations `
are '
uncircumcised, And all the house of Israel `
are '
uncircumcised in heart !
