Jeremiah 9:1-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
1
Oh, that my head were waters
And my eyes a fountain of tears,
That I might weep day and night
For those slain of the daughter of my people!
2
Oh that I had in the desert
A travelers’ lodging place;
So that I might leave my people
And go away from them!
For all of them are adulterers,
An assembly of treacherous people.
3
'They bend their tongues
like
their bows;
Lies and not truth prevail in the land;
For they proceed from evil to evil,
And they do not know Me,' declares the
Lord
.
4
'Let everyone be on guard against his neighbor,
And do not trust any brother;
Because every brother utterly betrays,
And every neighbor goes about as a slanderer.
5
Everyone deceives his neighbor
And does not speak the truth.
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They weary themselves committing wrongdoing.
6
Your dwelling is in the midst of deceit;
Through deceit they refuse to know Me,' declares the
Lord
.
7
Therefore this is what the
Lord
of armies says:
'Behold, I will refine them and put them to the test;
For what
else
can I do, because of the daughter of My people?
8
Their tongue is a deadly arrow;
It speaks deceit;
With his mouth one speaks peace to his neighbor,
But inwardly he sets an ambush for him.
9
Shall I not punish them for these things?' declares the
Lord
.
'Shall I not avenge Myself
On a nation such as this?
King James Version
Chapter 9
1
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!
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.
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
.
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.
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.
6
Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the
Lord
.
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?
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.
9
Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the
Lord
: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
1
If my head were a flowing spring,
my eyes a fountain of tears,
I would weep day and night
over the slain of my dear people.
2
If only I had a traveler’s lodging place
in the wilderness,
I would abandon my people
and depart from them,
for they are all adulterers,
a solemn assembly of treacherous people.
3
They bent their tongues like their bows;
lies and not faithfulness prevail in the land,
for they proceed from one evil to another,
and they do not take me into account. This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
4
Everyone has to be on guard against his friend.
Don’t trust any brother,
for every brother will certainly deceive,
and every friend spread slander.
5
Each one betrays his friend;
no one tells the truth.
They have taught their tongues to speak lies;
they wear themselves out doing wrong.
6
You live in a world of deception.
In their deception they refuse to know me. This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
7
Therefore, this is what the
Lord
of Armies says:
I am about to refine them and test them,
for what else can I do
because of my dear people?
8
Their tongues are deadly arrows—
they speak deception.
With his mouth
one speaks peaceably with his friend,
but inwardly he sets up an ambush.
9
Should I not punish them for these things? This is the
Lord
’s declaration. Should I not avenge myself
on such a nation as this?
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
1
If only my head were a pool of water
and my eyes a fountain of tears,
I would weep day and night
for all my people who have been slaughtered.
2
Oh, that I could go away and forget my people
and live in a travelers’ shack in the desert.
For they are all adulterers —
a pack of treacherous liars.
3
'My people bend their tongues like bows
to shoot out lies.
They refuse to stand up for the truth.
They only go from bad to worse.
They do not know me,'
says the
Lord
.
4
'Beware of your neighbor!
Don’t even trust your brother!
For brother takes advantage of brother,
and friend slanders friend.
5
They all fool and defraud each other;
no one tells the truth.
With practiced tongues they tell lies;
they wear themselves out with all their sinning.
6
They pile lie upon lie
and utterly refuse to acknowledge me,'
says the
Lord
.
7
Therefore, this is what the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies says:
'See, I will melt them down in a crucible
and test them like metal.
What else can I do with my people?
8
For their tongues shoot lies like poisoned arrows.
They speak friendly words to their neighbors
while scheming in their heart to kill them.
9
Should I not punish them for this?' says the
Lord
.
'Should I not avenge myself against such a nation?'
English Standard Version
Chapter 9
1
Oh that my head were waters,
and my eyes a fountain of tears,
that I might weep day and night
for the slain of the daughter of my people!
2
Oh that I had in the desert
a travelers ' lodging place,
that I might leave my people
and go away from them!
For they are all adulterers,
a company of treacherous men.
3
They bend their tongue like a bow;
falsehood and not truth has grown strong in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
and they do not know me, declares the
Lord
.
4
Let everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every brother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor goes about as a slanderer.
5
Everyone deceives his neighbor,
and no one speaks the truth;
they have taught their tongue to speak lies;
they weary themselves committing iniquity.
6
Heaping oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit,
they refuse to know me, declares the
Lord
.
7
Therefore thus says the
Lord
of hosts:
"Behold, I will refine them and test them,
for what else can I do, because of my people?
8
Their tongue is a deadly arrow;
it speaks deceitfully;
with his mouth each speaks peace to his neighbor,
but in his heart he plans an ambush for him.
9
Shall I not punish them for these things? declares the
Lord
,
and shall I not avenge myself
on a nation such as this?
New International Version
Chapter 9
1
Oh, that my head were a spring of water
and my eyes a fountain of tears!
I would weep day and night
for the slain of my people.
2
Oh, that I had in the desert
a lodging 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 anyone in your clan.
For every one of them is a deceiver,
and every friend a slanderer.
5
Friend deceives friend,
and no one speaks the truth.
They have taught their tongues to lie;
they weary themselves with sinning.
6
You live in the midst of deception;
in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,"
declares the
Lord
.
7
Therefore this is what the
Lord
Almighty says:
"See, I will refine and test them,
for what else can I do
because of the sin of my people?
8
Their tongue is a deadly arrow;
it speaks deceitfully.
With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors,
but in their hearts they set traps for them.
9
Should I not punish them for this?"
declares the
Lord
.
"Should I not avenge myself
on such a nation as this?"
New King James Version

That I might weep day and night
For the slain of the daughter of my people!
2
Oh, that I had in the wilderness
A lodging place for travelers;
That I might leave my people,
And go from them!
For they

“Everyone take heed to his neighbor,
And do not trust any brother;

in the midst of deceit;
Through deceit they refuse to know Me,” says the
Lord

Therefore thus says the
Lord
of hosts:

For how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?
8
Their tongue
is
an arrow shot out;
It speaks deceit;
One
speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
But in his heart he lies in wait.
9
Shall I not punish them for these
things?
” says the
Lord
.
“Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”
