009:012 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and [who is] he to whom the mouth of Yahweh has spoken, that he may declare it? why is the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that none passes through? 009:013 Yahweh says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein, 009:014 but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them; 009:015 therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. 009:016 I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them. 009:017 Thus says Yahweh of Armies, Consider you, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the skillful women, that they may come: 009:018 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. 009:019 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we ruined! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings. 009:020 Yet hear the word of Yahweh, you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters wailing, and everyone her neighbor lamentation. 009:021 For death is come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from outside, [and] the young men from the streets. 009:022 Speak, Thus says Yahweh, The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester; and none shall gather [them]. 009:023 Thus says Yahweh, Don't let the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, don't let the rich man glory in his riches; 009:024 but let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says Yahweh. 009:025 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will punish all those who are circumcised in [their] uncircumcision: 009:026 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that have the corners [of their hair] cut off, who dwell in the wilderness; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart. 010:001 Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, house of Israel! 010:002 Thus says Yahweh, "Don't learn the way of the nations, and don't be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.
