1 "At that time, says Yahweh, the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of its princes, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be brought out of their tombs;  בָּעֵת הַהִיא נְאֻם־יְהוָה [כ= וְיֹצִיאוּ] [ק= יֹוצִיאוּ] אֶת־עַצְמֹות מַלְכֵי־יְהוּדָה וְאֶת־עַצְמֹות־שָׂרָיו וְאֶת־עַצְמֹות הַכֹּהֲנִים וְאֵת עַצְמֹות הַנְּבִיאִים וְאֵת עַצְמֹות יֹושְׁבֵי־יְרוּשָׁלִָם מִקִּבְרֵיהֶם׃
2 and they shall be spread before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and served, which they have gone after, and which they have sought and worshipped; and they shall not be gathered or buried; they shall be as dung on the surface of the ground.  וּשְׁטָחוּם לַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְלַיָּרֵחַ וּלְכֹל צְבָא הַשָּׁמַיִם אֲשֶׁר אֲהֵבוּם וַאֲשֶׁר עֲבָדוּם וַאֲשֶׁר הָלְכוּ אַחֲרֵיהֶם וַאֲשֶׁר דְּרָשׁוּם וַאֲשֶׁר הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָהֶם לֹא יֵאָסְפוּ וְלֹא יִקָּבֵרוּ לְדֹמֶן עַל־פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה יִהְיוּ׃
3 Death shall be preferred to life by all the remnant that remains of this evil family in all the places where I have driven them, says Yahweh of hosts.  וְנִבְחַר מָוֶת מֵחַיִּים לְכֹל הַשְּׁאֵרִית הַנִּשְׁאָרִים מִן־הַמִּשְׁפָּחָה הָרָעָה הַזֹּאת בְּכָל־הַמְּקֹמֹות הַנִּשְׁאָרִים אֲשֶׁר הִדַּחְתִּים שָׁם נְאֻם יְהוָה צְבָאֹות׃ ס
4 "You shall say to them, Thus says Yahweh:
When men fall, do they not rise again?
If one turns away, does he not return?
Sin & punishment. Jr.8.4-17וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הֲיִפְּלוּ וְלֹא יָקוּמוּ אִם־יָשׁוּב וְלֹא יָשׁוּב׃
5 Why then has this people turned away
in perpetual backsliding?
They hold fast to deceit,
they refuse to return.
 מַדּוּעַ שֹׁובְבָה הָעָם הַזֶּה יְרוּשָׁלִַם מְשֻׁבָה נִצַּחַת הֶחֱזִיקוּ בַּתַּרְמִית מֵאֲנוּ לָשׁוּב׃
6 I have given heed and listened,
but they have not spoken aright;
no man repents of his wickedness,
saying, 'What have I done?'
Every one turns to his own course,
like a horse plunging headlong into battle.
 הִקְשַׁבְתִּי וָאֶשְׁמָע לֹוא־כֵן יְדַבֵּרוּ אֵין אִישׁ נִחָם עַל־רָעָתֹו לֵאמֹר מֶה עָשִׂיתִי כֻּלֹּה שָׁב [כ= בִּמְרֻצֹותָם] [ק= בִּמְרוּצָתָם] כְּסוּס שֹׁוטֵף בַּמִּלְחָמָה׃
7 Even the stork in the heavens
knows her times;
and the turtledove, swallow, and crane
keep the time of their coming;
but my people know not
the ordinance of Yahweh.
 גַּם־חֲסִידָה בַשָּׁמַיִם יָדְעָה מֹועֲדֶיהָ וְתֹר [כ= וְסוּס] [ק= וְסִיס] וְעָגוּר שָׁמְרוּ אֶת־עֵת בֹּאָנָה וְעַמִּי לֹא יָדְעוּ אֵת מִשְׁפַּט יְהוָה׃
8 "How can you say, 'We are wise,
and the law of Yahweh is with us'?
But, behold, the false pen of the scribes
has made it into a lie.
 אֵיכָה תֹאמְרוּ חֲכָמִים אֲנַחְנוּ וְתֹורַת יְהוָה אִתָּנוּ אָכֵן הִנֵּה לַשֶּׁקֶר עָשָׂה עֵט שֶׁקֶר סֹפְרִים׃
9 The wise men shall be put to shame,
they shall be dismayed and taken;
lo, they have rejected the word of Yahweh,
and what wisdom is in them?
 הֹבִישׁוּ חֲכָמִים חַתּוּ וַיִּלָּכֵדוּ הִנֵּה בִדְבַר־יְהוָה מָאָסוּ וְחָכְמַת־מֶה לָהֶם׃ ס
10 Therefore I will give their wives to others
and their fields to conquerors,
because from the least to the greatest
every one is greedy for unjust gain;
from prophet to priest
every one deals falsely.
 לָכֵן אֶתֵּן אֶת־נְשֵׁיהֶם לַאֲחֵרִים שְׂדֹותֵיהֶם לְיֹורְשִׁים כִּי מִקָּטֹן וְעַד־גָּדֹול כֻּלֹּה בֹּצֵעַ בָּצַע מִנָּבִיא וְעַד־כֹּהֵן כֻּלֹּה עֹשֶׂה שָּׁקֶר׃
11 They have healed the wound of my people lightly,
saying, 'Peace, peace,'
when there is no peace.
 וַיְרַפּוּ אֶת־שֶׁבֶר בַּת־עַמִּי עַל־נְקַלָּה לֵאמֹר שָׁלֹום שָׁלֹום וְאֵין שָׁלֹום׃
12 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?
No, they were not at all ashamed;
they did not know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among the fallen;
when I punish them, they shall be overthrown,
says Yahweh.
 הֹבִשׁוּ כִּי תֹועֵבָה עָשׂוּ גַּם־בֹּושׁ לֹא־יֵבֹשׁוּ וְהִכָּלֵם לֹא יָדָעוּ לָכֵן יִפְּלוּ בַנֹּפְלִים בְּעֵת פְּקֻדָּתָם יִכָּשְׁלוּ אָמַר יְהוָה׃ ס
13 When I would gather them, says Yahweh,
there are no grapes on the vine,
nor figs on the fig tree;
even the leaves are withered,
and what I gave them has passed away from them."
 אָסֹף אֲסִיפֵם נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה אֵין עֲנָבִים בַּגֶּפֶן וְאֵין תְּאֵנִים בַּתְּאֵנָה וְהֶעָלֶה נָבֵל וָאֶתֵּן לָהֶם יַעַבְרוּם׃
14 Why do we sit still?
Gather together, let us go into the fortified cities and perish there;
for Yahweh our God has doomed us to perish,
and has given us poisoned water to drink,
because we have sinned against Yahweh.
 עַל־מָה אֲנַחְנוּ יֹשְׁבִים הֵאָסְפוּ וְנָבֹוא אֶל־עָרֵי הַמִּבְצָר וְנִדְּמָה־שָּׁם כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ הֲדִמָּנוּ וַיַּשְׁקֵנוּ מֵי־רֹאשׁ כִּי חָטָאנוּ לַיהוָה׃
15 We looked for peace, but no good came,
for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
 קַוֵּה לְשָׁלֹום וְאֵין טֹוב לְעֵת מַרְפֵּה וְהִנֵּה בְעָתָה׃
16 "The snorting of their horses is heard from Dan;
at the sound of the neighing of their stallions
the whole land quakes.
They come and devour the land and all that fills it,
the city and those who dwell in it.
 מִדָּן נִשְׁמַע נַחְרַת סוּסָיו מִקֹּול מִצְהֲלֹות אַבִּירָיו רָעֲשָׁה כָּל־הָאָרֶץ וַיָּבֹואוּ וַיֹּאכְלוּ אֶרֶץ וּמְלֹואָהּ עִיר וְיֹשְׁבֵי בָהּ׃ ס
17 For behold, I am sending among you serpents,
adders which cannot be charmed,
and they shall bite you,"
says Yahweh.
 כִּי הִנְנִי מְשַׁלֵּחַ בָּכֶם נְחָשִׁים צִפְעֹנִים אֲשֶׁר אֵין־לָהֶם לָחַשׁ וְנִשְּׁכוּ אֶתְכֶם נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ ס
18 My grief is beyond healing,
my heart is sick within me.
Jeremiah's sorrow for his people. Jr.8.18-9.16מַבְלִיגִיתִי עֲלֵי יָגֹון עָלַי לִבִּי דַוָּי׃
19 Hark, the cry of the daughter of my people
from the length and breadth of the land:
"Is Yahweh not in Zion?
Is her King not in her?"
"Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images,
and with their foreign idols?"
 הִנֵּה־קֹול שַׁוְעַת בַּת־עַמִּי מֵאֶרֶץ מַרְחַקִּים הַיהוָה אֵין בְּצִיֹּון אִם־מַלְכָּהּ אֵין בָּהּ מַדּוּעַ הִכְעִסוּנִי בִּפְסִלֵיהֶם בְּהַבְלֵי נֵכָר׃
20 "The harvest is past, the summer is ended,
and we are not saved."
 עָבַר קָצִיר כָּלָה קָיִץ וַאֲנַחְנוּ לֹוא נֹושָׁעְנוּ׃
21 For the wound of the daughter of my people is my heart wounded,
I mourn, and dismay has taken hold on me.
 עַל־שֶׁבֶר בַּת־עַמִּי הָשְׁבָּרְתִּי קָדַרְתִּי שַׁמָּה הֶחֱזִקָתְנִי׃
22 Is there no balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?
 הַצֳרִי אֵין בְּגִלְעָד אִם־רֹפֵא אֵין שָׁם כִּי מַדּוּעַ לֹא עָלְתָה אֲרֻכַת בַּת־עַמִּי׃

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
