| 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.8.4-17 | וְאָמַרְתָּ 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 | |
