- At that time, says Yahweh, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
- and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshiped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung on the surface of the earth.
- Death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them, says Yahweh of Armies.
- Moreover you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?
- Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
- I listened and heard, but they didn't speak aright: no man repents him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
- Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people don't know Yahweh's law.
- How do you say, We are wise, and the law of Yahweh is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has worked falsely.
- The wise men are disappointed, they are dismayed and taken: behold, they have rejected the word of Yahweh; and what kind of wisdom is in them?
- Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them: for everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
- They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
- Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says Yahweh.
- I will utterly consume them, says Yahweh: no grapes shall be on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and [the things that] I have given them shall pass away from them.
- Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for Yahweh our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Yahweh.
- We looked for peace, but no good came; [and] for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
- The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles; for they are come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those who dwell therein.
- For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, says Yahweh.
- Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.
- Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: isn't Yahweh in Zion? Isn't her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign vanities?
- The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
- For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay has taken hold on me.
- Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there? why then isn't the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

- בעת ההיא נאם־יהוה את־עצמות מלכי־יהודה ואת־עצמות־שריו ואת־עצמות הכהנים ואת עצמות הנביאים ואת עצמות יושבי־ירושלם מקבריהם׃
- ושטחום לשמש ולירח ולכל צבא השמים אשר אהבום ואשר עבדום ואשר הלכו אחריהם ואשר דרשום ואשר השתחוו להם לא יאספו ולא יקברו לדמן על־פני האדמה יהיו׃
- ונבחר מות מחיים לכל השארית הנשארים מן־המשפחה הרעה הזאת בכל־המקמות הנשארים אשר הדחתים שם נאם יהוה צבאות׃ ס
- ואמרת אליהם כה אמר יהוה היפלו ולא יקומו אם־ישוב ולא ישוב׃
- מדוע שובבה העם הזה ירושלם משבה נצחת החזיקו בתרמית מאנו לשוב׃
- הקשבתי ואשמע לוא־כן ידברו אין איש נחם על־רעתו לאמר מה עשיתי כלה שב כסוס שוטף במלחמה׃
- גם־חסידה בשמים ידעה מועדיה ותר ועגור שמרו את־עת באנה ועמי לא ידעו את משפט יהוה׃
- איכה תאמרו חכמים אנחנו ותורת יהוה אתנו אכן הנה לשקר עשה עט שקר ספרים׃
- הבישו חכמים חתו וילכדו הנה בדבר־יהוה מאסו וחכמת־מה להם׃ ס
- לכן אתן את־נשיהם לאחרים שדותיהם ליורשים כי מקטן ועד־גדול כלה בצע בצע מנביא ועד־כהן כלה עשה שקר׃
- וירפו את־שבר בת־עמי על־נקלה לאמר שלום שלום ואין שלום׃
- הבשו כי תועבה עשו גם־בוש לא־יבשו והכלם לא ידעו לכן יפלו בנפלים בעת פקדתם יכשלו אמר יהוה׃ ס
- אסף אסיפם נאם־יהוה אין ענבים בגפן ואין תאנים בתאנה והעלה נבל ואתן להם יעברום׃
- על־מה אנחנו ישבים האספו ונבוא אל־ערי המבצר ונדמה־שם כי יהוה אלהינו הדמנו וישקנו מי־ראש כי חטאנו ליהוה׃
- קוה לשלום ואין טוב לעת מרפה והנה בעתה׃
- מדן נשמע נחרת סוסיו מקול מצהלות אביריו רעשה כל־הארץ ויבואו ויאכלו ארץ ומלואה עיר וישבי בה׃ ס
- כי הנני משלח בכם נחשים צפענים אשר אין־להם לחש ונשכו אתכם נאם־יהוה׃ ס
- מבליגיתי עלי יגון עלי לבי דוי׃
- הנה־קול שועת בת־עמי מארץ מרחקים היהוה אין בציון אם־מלכה אין בה מדוע הכעסוני בפסליהם בהבלי נכר׃
- עבר קציר כלה קיץ ואנחנו לוא נושענו׃
- על־שבר בת־עמי השברתי קדרתי שמה החזקתני׃
- הצרי אין בגלעד אם־רפא אין שם כי מדוע לא עלתה ארכת בת־עמי׃

| Jeremiah 8 Text (Latin)
|
- In illo tempore, ait Dominus, ejicient ossa regum Juda, et ossa principum ejus, et ossa sacerdotum, et ossa prophetarum, et ossa eorum qui habitaverunt Jerusalem, de sepulchris suis :
- et expandent ea ad solem, et lunam, et omnem militiam cæli, quæ dilexerunt, et quibus servierunt, et post quæ ambulaverunt, et quæ quæsierunt, et adoraverunt. Non colligentur, et non sepelientur : in sterquilinium super faciem terræ erunt.
- Et eligent magis mortem quam vitam, omnes qui residui fuerint de cognatione hac pessima, in universis locis quæ derelicta sunt, ad quæ ejeci eos, dicit Dominus exercituum.
- Et dices ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus : Numquid qui cadit non resurget ? et qui aversus est non revertetur ?
- Quare ergo aversus est populus iste in Jerusalem aversione contentiosa ? Apprehenderunt mendacium, et noluerunt reverti.
- Attendi, et auscultavi : nemo quod bonum est loquitur ; nullus est qui agat pœnitentiam super peccato suo, dicens : Quid feci ? Omnes conversi sunt ad cursum suum, quasi equus impetu vadens ad prælium.
- Milvus in cælo cognovit tempus suum : turtur, et hirundo, et ciconia custodierunt tempus adventus sui : populus autem meus non cognovit judicium Domini.
- Quomodo dicitis : Sapientes nos sumus, et lex Domini nobiscum est ? Vere mendacium operatus est stylus mendax scribarum !
- Confusi sunt sapientes, perterriti et capti sunt : verbum enim Domini projecerunt, et sapientia nulla est in eis.
- Propterea dabo mulieres eorum exteris, agros eorum hæredibus, quia a minimo usque ad maximum, omnes avaritiam sequuntur : a propheta usque ad sacerdotem, cuncti faciunt mendacium.
- Et sanabunt contritionem filiæ populi mei ad ignominiam, dicentes : Pax, pax ! cum non esset pax.
- Confusi sunt, quia abominationem fecerunt : quinimmo confusione non sunt confusi, et erubescere nescierunt. Idcirco cadent inter corruentes : in tempore visitationis suæ corruent, dicit Dominus.
- Congregans congregabo eos, ait Dominus. Non est uva in vitibus, et non sunt ficus in ficulnea : folium defluxit, et dedi eis quæ prætergressa sunt.
- Quare sedemus ? convenite, et ingrediamur civitatem munitam, et sileamus ibi, quia Dominus Deus noster silere nos fecit, et potum dedit nobis aquam fellis : peccavimus enim Domino.
- Exspectavimus pacem, et non erat bonum : tempus medelæ, et ecce formido.
- A Dan auditus est fremitus equorum ejus : a voce hinnituum pugnatorum ejus commota est omnis terra : et venerunt, et devoraverunt terram, et plenitudinem ejus, urbem et habitatores ejus.
- Quia ecce ego mittam vobis serpentes regulos, quibus non est incantatio : et mordebunt vos, ait Dominus.
- Dolor meus super dolorem, in me cor meum mœrens.
- Ecce vox clamoris filiæ populi mei de terra longinqua : Numquid Dominus non est in Sion ? aut rex ejus non est in ea ? Quare ergo me ad iracundiam concitaverunt in sculptilibus suis, et vanitatibus alienis ?
- Transiit messis, finita est æstas, et nos salvati non sumus.
- Super contritione filiæ populi mei contritus sum, et contristatus : stupor obtinuit me.
- Numquid resina non est in Galaad ? aut medicus non est ibi ? Quare igitur non est obducta cicatrix filiæ populi mei ?

|
- At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
- And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
- And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
- Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
- Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
- I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
- Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
- How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
- The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
- Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
- For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
- Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
- I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
- Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
- We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
- The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
- For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
- When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
- Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
- The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
- For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
- Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
