8
1Their tongue is a deadly arrow; 2it speaks deceitfully; with his mouth 3each speaks peace to his neighbor, but in his heart 4he plans an ambush for him.
9
5Shall I not punish them for these things? declares the LORD, and shall I not avenge myself on a nation such as this?
10
"I will take up weeping and wailing for the mountains, and a lamentation for 6the pastures of the wilderness, 7because they are laid waste so that no one passes through, and the lowing of cattle is not heard; 8both the birds of the air and the beasts have fled and are gone.
11
9I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, 10a lair of jackals, 11and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant."
12
12Who is the man so wise that he can understand this? To whom has the mouth of the LORD spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined 13and laid waste like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?
13
And the LORD says: 14"Because they have forsaken my law that I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in accord with it,
14
but 15have stubbornly followed their own hearts and have gone after the Baals, as their fathers taught them.
15
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 16Behold, I will feed this people with bitter food, and give them 17poisonous water to drink.
16
18I will scatter them among the nations 19whom neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will 20send the sword after them, until I have consumed them."
17
Thus says the LORD of hosts: 21"Consider, and call for the mourning women to come; send for the skillful women to come;
18
let them make haste 22and raise a wailing over us, 23that our eyes may run down with tears and our eyelids flow with water.
19
For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion: 24'How we are ruined! We are utterly shamed, because we have left the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.'"
20
Hear, O women, the word of the LORD, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; teach to your daughters a lament, and each to her neighbor a dirge.
21
For death has come up into our windows; it has entered our palaces, 25cutting off the children from the streets and the young men from the squares.
22
Speak, "Thus declares the LORD: 26'The dead bodies of men shall fall like dung upon the open field, 27like sheaves after the reaper, and none shall gather them.'"
23
Thus says the LORD: 28"Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches,
24
but 29let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. 30For in these things I delight, declares the LORD."
25
"Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when 31I will punish all those who are circumcised merely in the flesh--
