9Oh, that my head were a spring of water and my eyes a fountain of tears! I would weep day and night for the slain 1 of my people.
2Oh, that I had in the desert a lodging 2 place for travelers, so that I might leave my people and go away from them; for they are all adulterers, a crowd of unfaithful people.
3"They make ready their tongue like a bow, to shoot lies; it is not by truth that they triumph in the land. They go from one sin to another; they do not acknowledge me," declares the Lord .
4"Beware of your friends; do not trust your brothers. For every brother is a deceiver, and every friend a slanderer 3.
5Friend deceives friend, and no one speaks the truth. They have taught their tongues to lie; they weary themselves with sinning.
6You live in the midst of deception 4; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me," declares the Lord .
7Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty 5 says: "See, I will refine and test them, for what else can I do because of the sin of my people?
8Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks with deceit. With his mouth each speaks cordially to his neighbor, but in his heart he sets a trap for him.
9Should I not punish them for this?" declares the Lord . "Should I not avenge 6 myself on such a nation as this?"
10I will weep and wail 7 for the mountains and take up a lament 8 concerning the desert pastures. They are desolate 9 and untraveled, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. The birds of the air have fled and the animals are gone.
11"I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals; and I will lay waste the towns of Judah so no one can live there."
12What man is wise enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the Lord and can explain it? Why has the land been ruined and laid waste like a desert that no one can cross?
13The Lord said, "It is because they have forsaken 10 my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law.
14Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts; they have followed the Baals, as their fathers taught them."
15Therefore, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "See, I will make this people eat bitter food and drink poisoned water.
16I will scatter 11 them among nations that neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will pursue them with the sword until I have destroyed them."
17This is what the Lord Almighty says: "Consider now! Call for the wailing 12 women to come; send for the most skillful of them.
18Let them come quickly and wail over us till our eyes overflow 13 with tears and water streams from our eyelids 14.
19The sound of wailing is heard from Zion: 'How ruined we are! How great is our shame! We must leave our land because our houses are in ruins.' "
20Now, O women, hear the word of the Lord ; open your ears to the words of his mouth. Teach your daughters how to wail; teach one another a lament.
21Death has climbed in through our windows and has entered our fortresses 15; it has cut off the children from the streets and the young men from the public squares.
22Say, "This is what the Lord declares: " 'The dead bodies of men will lie like refuse on the open field, like cut grain behind the reaper 16, with no one to gather them.' "
23This is what the Lord says: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches,
24but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord , who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the Lord .
25"The days are coming," declares the Lord , "when I will punish all who are circumcised only in the flesh-
26Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab and all who live in the desert in distant places. For all these nations are really uncircumcised, and even the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart."
