CHAP. IX.
1 Ieremiah lamenteth the Iewes for their manifold
sinnes, 9 and for their iudgement. 12
Disobedience is the cause of their bitter calamitie.
17 He exhorteth to mourne for their
destruction, 23 and to trust, not in themselues,
but in God. 25 He threatneth both
Iewes and Gentiles.
1
note noteOh that my head were
waters, and mine eyes a
fountaine of teares, that
I might weepe day and
night for the slaine of the
daughter of my people.
2
Oh that I had in the wildernesse
a lodging place of wayfaring men, that
I might leaue my people, and goe from
them: for they be all adulterers, an assembly

of treacherous men.
3
And they bend their tongue like
their bow for lies: but they are not valiant
for the trueth vpon the earth: for
they proceed from euil to euill, and they
know not me, saith the Lord.
4
noteTake yee heede euery one of his
note neighbour, and trust yee not in any
brother: for euery brother will vtterly
supplant, and euery neighbour will
walke with slanders.
5
And they will note deceiue euery one
his neighbour, and will not speake the
trueth, they haue taught their tongue
to speake lies, and weary themselues to
commit iniquity.
6
Thine habitation is in the middest
of deceit, through deceit they refuse to
know me, sayth the Lord.
7
Therfore thus saith the Lord
of hostes; Behold, I will melt them,
and trie them: for how shall I doe for
the daughter of my people?
8
Their note tongue is as an arrowe
shot out, it speaketh note deceit: one speaketh note
peaceably to his neighbour with
his mouth, but note in heart he layeth note his
waite.
9
¶ note Shall I not visit them for
these things, saith the Lord? shall
not my soule be auenged on such a nation
as this?
10
For the mountaines will I take
vp a weeping and wayling, and for the
note habitations of the wildernesse a lamentation,
because they are note burnt vp,
so that none can passe through them,
neither can men heare the voyce of the
cattell, note both the foule of the heauens,
and the beast are fled, they are gone.
11
And I will make Ierusalem
heapes, and note a denne of dragons, and I
wil make the cities of Iudah note desolate,
without an inhabitant.
12
¶ Who is the wise man that may
vnderstand this, and who is he to whom
the mouth of the Lord hath spoken,
that hee may declare it; for what the
land perisheth, and is burnt vp like a
wildernesse that none passeth through?
13
And the Lord saith; Because
they haue forsaken my law, which I set
before them, and haue not obeyed my
voyce, neither walked therein;
14
But haue walked after the note imagination
of their owne heart, ∧ after Baalim,
which their fathers taught them:
15
Therefore thus saith the Lord
of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I

will feed them, euen this people note with
wormewood, and giue them water of
gall to drinke.
16
I will note scatter them also among
the heathen, whome neither they nor
their fathers haue knowen: and I wil
send a sword after them, til I haue consumed
them.
17
¶ Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
Consider yee, and call for the mourning
women, that they may come, and send
for cunning women, that they may
come.
18
And let them make haste, and take
vp a wailing for vs, that our eyes may
run down with teares, and our eyelids
gush out with waters.
19
For a voyce of wayling is heard
out of Zion, How are we spoiled? wee
are greatly confounded, because wee
haue forsaken the land, because our
dwellings haue cast vs out.
20
Yet heare the word of the Lord,
O ye women, ∧ let your eare receiue the
word of his mouth, and teach your
daughters wailing, and euery one her
neighbour lamentation.
21
For death is come vp into our
windowes, and is entred into our palaces,
to cut off the children from without
and the yong men from the streetes.
22
Speake, Thus saith the Lord,
Euen the carkeises of men shall fall as
dung vpon the open field, and as the
handfull after the haruest man, and
none shall gather them.
23
¶ Thus saith the Lord, Let
not the note wise man glory in his wisdom,
neither let the mighty man glory in his
might, let not the rich man glory in his
riches.
24
But let him that glorieth, glory
in this, that hee vnderstandeth and
knoweth me, that I am the Lord
which exercise louing kindnesse, iudgement
and righteousnesse in the earth:
for in these things I delight, saith the
Lord.
25
¶ Behold, the dayes come, saith
the Lord, that I will note punish all
them which are circumcised, with the
vncircumcised,
26
Egypt, and Iudah, and Edom,
and the children of Ammon, and Moab,
and all that are note in the note vtmost corners,
that dwell in the wildernesse: for
all these nations are vncircumcised, and
all the house of Israel are note vncircumcised
in the heart.
Of idolatry.
