Jeremiah 9:12-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
12
Who is the wise person who may understand this? And
who is
he to whom the mouth of the
Lord
has spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land destroyed, laid waste like the desert, so that no one passes through?
13
The
Lord
said, 'Because they have abandoned My Law which I put before them, and have not obeyed My voice nor walked according to it,
14
but have followed the stubbornness of their heart and the Baals, as their fathers taught them,'
15
therefore this is what the
Lord
of armies, the God of Israel says: 'Behold, I will feed this people wormwood; and I will give them poisoned water to drink.
16
I will also scatter them among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them until I have put an end to them.'
King James Version
Chapter 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?
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;
14
But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
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.
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
12
Who is the person wise enough to understand this? Who has the
Lord
spoken to, that he may explain it? Why is the land destroyed and scorched like a wilderness, so no one can pass through?
13
The
Lord
said, "It is because they abandoned my instruction, which I set before them, and did not obey my voice or walk according to it.
14
Instead, they followed the stubbornness of their hearts and followed the Baals as their fathers taught them."
15
Therefore, this is what the
Lord
of Armies, the God of Israel, says: "I am about to feed this people wormwood and give them poisonous water to drink.
16
I will scatter them among the nations that they and their fathers have not known. I will send a sword after them until I have finished them off."
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
12
Who is wise enough to understand all this? Who has been instructed by the
Lord
and can explain it to others? Why has the land been so ruined that no one dares to travel through it?
13
The
Lord
replies, 'This has happened because my people have abandoned my instructions; they have refused to obey what I said.
14
Instead, they have stubbornly followed their own desires and worshiped the images of Baal, as their ancestors taught them.
15
So now, this is what the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: Look! I will feed them with bitterness and give them poison to drink.
16
I will scatter them around the world, in places they and their ancestors never heard of, and even there I will chase them with the sword until I have destroyed them completely.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 9
12
Who 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 and laid waste like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?
13
And the
Lord
says: "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 have 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: Behold, I will feed this people with bitter food, and give them poisonous water to drink.
16
I will scatter them among the nations whom neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them."
New International Version
Chapter 9
12
Who 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?
13
The
Lord
said, "It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law.
14
Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts; they have followed the Baals, as their ancestors taught them."
15
Therefore this is what the
Lord
Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "See, I will make this people eat bitter food and drink poisoned water.
16
I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their ancestors have known, and I will pursue them with the sword until I have made an end of them."
New King James Version
Chapter 9
12
Who
is
the wise man who may understand this? And
who is he
to whom the mouth of the
Lord
has spoken, that he may declare it? Why does the land perish
and
burn up like a wilderness, so that no one can pass through?
13
And the
Lord
said, “Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it,
14
but they have walked according to the dictates of their own hearts and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them,”
15
therefore thus says the
Lord
of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16
I will scatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.”
