| 17 | Thus says Yahweh of hosts: "Consider, and call for the mourning women to come; send for the skilful women to come; | The people of Jerusalem cry for help. Jr.9.17-26 | כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות הִתְבֹּונְנוּ וְקִרְאוּ לַמְקֹונְנֹות וּתְבֹואֶינָה וְאֶל־הַחֲכָמֹות שִׁלְחוּ וְתָבֹואנָה׃ |
| 18 | let them make haste and raise a wailing over us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush with water. | וּתְמַהֵרְנָה וְתִשֶּׂנָה עָלֵינוּ נֶהִי וְתֵרַדְנָה עֵינֵינוּ דִּמְעָה וְעַפְעַפֵּינוּ יִזְּלוּ־מָיִם׃ | |
| 19 | For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion: 'How we are ruined! We are utterly shamed, because we have left the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.' " | כִּי קֹול נְהִי נִשְׁמַע מִצִּיֹּון אֵיךְ שֻׁדָּדְנוּ בֹּשְׁנוּ מְאֹד כִּי־עָזַבְנוּ אָרֶץ כִּי הִשְׁלִיכוּ מִשְׁכְּנֹותֵינוּ׃ ס | |
| 20 | Hear, O women, the word of Yahweh, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; teach to your daughters a lament, and each to her neighbour a dirge. | כִּי־שְׁמַעְנָה נָשִׁים דְּבַר־יְהוָה וְתִקַּח אָזְנְכֶם דְּבַר־פִּיו וְלַמֵּדְנָה בְנֹותֵיכֶם נֶהִי וְאִשָּׁה רְעוּתָהּ קִינָה׃ | |
| 21 | For death has come up into our windows, it has entered our palaces, cutting off the children from the streets and the young men from the squares. | כִּי־עָלָה מָוֶת בְּחַלֹּונֵינוּ בָּא בְּאַרְמְנֹותֵינוּ לְהַכְרִית עֹולָל מִחוּץ בַּחוּרִים מֵרְחֹבֹות׃ | |
| 22 | Speak, "Thus says Yahweh: 'The dead bodies of men shall fall like dung upon the open field, like sheaves after the reaper, and none shall gather them.' " | דַּבֵּר כֹּה נְאֻם־יְהוָה וְנָפְלָה נִבְלַת הָאָדָם כְּדֹמֶן עַל־פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה וּכְעָמִיר מֵאַחֲרֵי הַקֹּצֵר וְאֵין מְאַסֵּף׃ ס | |
| 23 | Thus says Yahweh: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches; | כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה אַל־יִתְהַלֵּל חָכָם בְּחָכְמָתֹו וְאַל־יִתְהַלֵּל הַגִּבֹּור בִּגְבוּרָתֹו אַל־יִתְהַלֵּל עָשִׁיר בְּעָשְׁרֹו׃ | |
| 24 | but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am Yahweh who practice steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for in these things I delight, says Yahweh." | כִּי אִם־בְּזֹאת יִתְהַלֵּל הַמִּתְהַלֵּל הַשְׂכֵּל וְיָדֹעַ אֹותִי כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה עֹשֶׂה חֶסֶד מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה בָּאָרֶץ כִּי־בְאֵלֶּה חָפַצְתִּי נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ ס | |
| 25 | "Behold, the days are coming, says Yahweh, when I will punish all those who are circumcised but yet uncircumcised - | הִנֵּה יָמִים בָּאִים נְאֻם־יְהוָה וּפָקַדְתִּי עַל־כָּל־מוּל בְּעָרְלָה׃ | |
| 26 | Egypt, Judah, Edom, the sons of Ammon, Moab, and all who dwell in the desert that cut the corners of their hair; for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart." | עַל־מִצְרַיִם וְעַל־יְהוּדָה וְעַל־אֱדֹום וְעַל־בְּנֵי עַמֹּון וְעַל־מֹואָב וְעַל כָּל־קְצוּצֵי פֵאָה הַיֹּשְׁבִים בַּמִּדְבָּר כִּי כָל־הַגֹּויִם עֲרֵלִים וְכָל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל עַרְלֵי־לֵב׃ ס | |
