Jer 9:1 [KJV 9:2] 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.

wayyaḏərəḵû ’eṯ-ləšônām qašətām šeqer wəlō’ le’ĕmûnāh gāḇərû ḇā’āreṣ kî mērā‘āh ’el-rā‘āh yāṣā’û wə’ōṯî lō’-yāḏā‘û nə’um-yəhwāh

Jer 9:2 [KJV 9:3] 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.

’îš mērē‘ēhû hiššāmērû wə‘al-kāl-’āḥ ’al-tiḇəṭāḥû kî ḵāl-’āḥ ‘āqôḇ ya‘əqōḇ wəḵāl-rēa‘ rāḵîl yahălōḵ

Jer 9:3 [KJV 9:4] 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.

wə’îš bərē‘ēhû yəhāṯēllû we’ĕmeṯ lō’ yəḏabbērû limməḏû ləšônām dabber-šeqer ha‘ăwēh nilə’û

Jer 9:4 [KJV 9:5] 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.

šiḇətəḵā bəṯôḵ mirəmāh bəmirəmāh mē’ănû ḏa‘aṯ-’ôṯî nə’um-yəhwāh

Jer 9:5 [KJV 9:6] Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.

lāḵēn kōh ’āmar yəhwāh ṣəḇā’ôṯ hinənî ṣôrəp̱ām ûḇəḥanətîm kî-’êḵ ’e‘ĕśeh mippənê baṯ-‘ammî

Jer 9:6 [KJV 9:7] 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?

ḥēṣ šāḥûṭ ləšônām mirəmāh ḏibbēr bəp̱îw šālôm ’eṯ-rē‘ēhû yəḏabbēr ûḇəqirəbô yāśîm ’ārəbô

Jer 9:7 [KJV 9:8] 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.

ha‘al-’ēlleh lō’-’ep̱əqāḏ-bām nə’um-yəhwāh ’im bəg̱ôy ’ăšer-kāzeh lō’ ṯiṯənaqqēm nap̱əšî

Jer 9:8 [KJV 9:9] Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

‘al-hehārîm ’eśśā’ ḇəḵî wānehî wə‘al-nə’ôṯ miḏəbār qînāh kî niṣṣəṯû mibbəlî-’îš ‘ōḇēr wəlō’ šāmə‘û qôl miqəneh mē‘ôp̱ haššāmayim wə‘aḏ-bəhēmāh nāḏəḏû hālāḵû

Jer 9:9 [KJV 9:10] 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.

wənāṯattî ’eṯ-yərûšālaim ləg̱allîm mə‘ôn tannîm wə’eṯ-‘ārê yəhûḏāh ’ettēn šəmāmāh mibbəlî yôšēḇ

Jer 9:10 [KJV 9:11] And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.

mî-hā’îš heḥāḵām wəyāḇēn ’eṯ-zō’ṯ wa’ăšer dibber pî-yəhwāh ’ēlāyw wəyaggiḏāhh ‘al-māh ’āḇəḏāh hā’āreṣ niṣṣəṯāh ḵammiḏəbār mibbəlî ‘ōḇēr

Jer 9:11 [KJV 9:12] 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?

wayyō’mer yəhwāh ‘al-‘āzəḇām ’eṯ-tôrāṯî ’ăšer nāṯattî lip̱ənêhem wəlō’-šāmə‘û ḇəqôlî wəlō’-hāləḵû ḇāhh

Jer 9:12 [KJV 9:13] And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;

wayyēləḵû ’aḥărê šərirûṯ libbām wə’aḥărê habbə‘ālîm ’ăšer limməḏûm ’ăḇôṯām

Jer 9:13 [KJV 9:14] But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:

lāḵēn kōh-’āmar yəhwāh ṣəḇā’ôṯ ’ĕlōhê yiśərā’ēl hinənî ma’ăḵîlām ’eṯ-hā‘ām hazzeh la‘ănāh wəhišəqîṯîm mê-rō’š

Jer 9:14 [KJV 9:15] 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.

wahăp̱iṣôṯîm baggôyim ’ăšer lō’ yāḏə‘û hēmmāh wa’ăḇôṯām wəšillaḥətî ’aḥărêhem ’eṯ-haḥereḇ ‘aḏ kallôṯî ’ôṯām

Jer 9:15 [KJV 9:16] 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.

kōh ’āmar yəhwāh ṣəḇā’ôṯ hiṯəbônənû wəqirə’û laməqônənôṯ ûṯəḇô’eynāh wə’el-haḥăḵāmôṯ šiləḥû wəṯāḇô’nāh

Jer 9:16 [KJV 9:17] 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:

ûṯəmahērənāh wəṯiśśenāh ‘ālênû nehî wəṯēraḏənāh ‘ênênû dimə‘āh wə‘ap̱ə‘appênû yizzəlû-māyim

Jer 9:17 [KJV 9:18] 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.

kî qôl nəhî nišəma‘ miṣṣiyyôn ’êḵ šuddāḏənû bōšənû mə’ōḏ kî-‘āzaḇənû ’āreṣ kî hišəlîḵû mišəkənôṯênû

Jer 9:18 [KJV 9:19] 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.

kî-šəma‘ənāh nāšîm dəḇar-yəhwāh wəṯiqqaḥ ’āzənəḵem dəḇar-pîw wəlammēḏənāh ḇənôṯêḵem nehî wə’iššāh rə‘ûṯāhh qînāh

Jer 9:19 [KJV 9:20] 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.

kî-‘ālāh māweṯ bəḥallônênû bā’ bə’arəmənôṯênû ləhaḵərîṯ ‘ôlāl miḥûṣ baḥûrîm mērəḥōḇôṯ

Jer 9:20 [KJV 9:21] 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.

dabbēr kōh nə’um-yəhwāh wənāp̱əlāh niḇəlaṯ hā’āḏām kəḏōmen ‘al-pənê haśśāḏeh ûḵə‘āmîr mē’aḥărê haqqōṣēr wə’ên mə’assēp̱

Jer 9:21 [KJV 9:22] 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.

kōh ’āmar yəhwāh ’al-yiṯəhallēl ḥāḵām bəḥāḵəmāṯô wə’al-yiṯəhallēl haggibbôr big̱əḇûrāṯô ’al-yiṯəhallēl ‘āšîr bə‘āšərô

Jer 9:22 [KJV 9:23] 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:

kî ’im-bəzō’ṯ yiṯəhallēl hammiṯəhallēl haśəkēl wəyāḏōa‘ ’ôṯî kî ’ănî yəhwāh ‘ōśeh ḥeseḏ mišəpāṭ ûṣəḏāqāh bā’āreṣ kî-ḇə’ēlleh ḥāp̱aṣətî nə’um-yəhwāh

Jer 9:23 [KJV 9:24] 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.

hinnēh yāmîm bā’îm nə’um-yəhwāh ûp̱āqaḏətî ‘al-kāl-mûl bə‘ārəlāh

Jer 9:24 [KJV 9:25] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;

‘al-miṣərayim wə‘al-yəhûḏāh wə‘al-’ĕḏôm wə‘al-bənê ‘ammôn wə‘al-mô’āḇ wə‘al kāl-qəṣûṣê p̱ē’āh hayyōšəḇîm bammiḏəbār kî ḵāl-haggôyim ‘ărēlîm wəḵāl-bêṯ yiśərā’ēl ‘arəlê-lēḇ

Jer 9:25 [KJV 9:26] 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.
