KJV ¹ Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!

VULC ¹ [Quis dabit capiti meo aquam,
et oculis meis fontem lacrimarum,
et plorabo die ac nocte interfectos filiæ populi mei ?

WLC ¹ מִֽי־ יִתְּנֵ֣נִי בַמִּדְבָּ֗ר מְלוֹן֙ אֹֽרְחִ֔ים וְאֶֽעֶזְבָה֙ אֶת־ עַמִּ֔י וְאֵלְכָ֖ה מֵֽאִתָּ֑ם כִּ֤י כֻלָּם֙ מְנָ֣אֲפִ֔ים עֲצֶ֖רֶת בֹּגְדִֽים׃

KJV ² Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.

VULC ² Quis dabit me in solitudine diversorium viatorum,
et derelinquam populum meum,
et recedam ab eis ?
quia omnes adulteri sunt,
cœtus prævaricatorum.

WLC ² וַֽיַּדְרְכ֤וּ אֶת־ לְשׁוֹנָם֙ קַשְׁתָּ֣ם שֶׁ֔קֶר וְלֹ֥א לֶאֱמוּנָ֖ה גָּבְר֣וּ בָאָ֑רֶץ כִּי֩ מֵרָעָ֨ה אֶל־ רָעָ֧ה ׀ יָצָ֛אוּ וְאֹתִ֥י לֹֽא־ יָדָ֖עוּ נְאֻם־ יְהוָֽה׃

KJV ³ And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.

VULC ³ Et extenderunt linguam suam
quasi arcum mendacii et non veritatis :
confortati sunt in terra,
quia de malo ad malum egressi sunt,
et me non cognoverunt, dicit Dominus.

WLC ³ אִ֤ישׁ מֵרֵעֵ֙הוּ֙ הִשָּׁמֵ֔רוּ וְעַל־ כָּל־ אָ֖ח אַל־ תִּבְטָ֑חוּ כִּ֤י כָל־ אָח֙ עָק֣וֹב יַעְקֹ֔ב וְכָל־ רֵ֖עַ רָכִ֥יל יַהֲלֹֽךְ׃

KJV ⁴ Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.

VULC ⁴ Unusquisque se a proximo suo custodiat,
et in omni fratre suo non habeat fiduciam :
quia omnis frater supplantans supplantabit,
et omnis amicus fraudulenter incedet.

WLC ⁴ וְאִ֤ישׁ בְּרֵעֵ֙הוּ֙ יְהָתֵ֔לּוּ וֶאֱמֶ֖ת לֹ֣א יְדַבֵּ֑רוּ לִמְּד֧וּ לְשׁוֹנָ֛ם דַּבֶּר־ שֶׁ֖קֶר הַעֲוֵ֥ה נִלְאֽוּ׃

KJV ⁵ And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.

VULC ⁵ Et vir fratrem suum deridebit,
et veritatem non loquentur :
docuerunt enim linguam suam loqui mendacium ;
ut inique agerent laboraverunt.

WLC ⁵ שִׁבְתְּךָ֖ בְּת֣וֹךְ מִרְמָ֑ה בְּמִרְמָ֛ה מֵאֲנ֥וּ דַֽעַת־ אוֹתִ֖י נְאֻם־ יְהוָֽה׃

KJV ⁶ Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.

VULC ⁶ Habitatio tua in medio doli :
in dolo renuerunt scire me, dicit Dominus.

WLC ⁶ לָכֵ֗ן כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת הִנְנִ֥י צוֹרְפָ֖ם וּבְחַנְתִּ֑ים כִּֽי־ אֵ֣יךְ אֶעֱשֶׂ֔ה מִפְּנֵ֖י בַּת־ עַמִּֽי׃

KJV ⁷ Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?

VULC ⁷ Propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum :
Ecce ego conflabo, et probabo eos :
quid enim aliud faciam a facie filiæ populi mei ?

WLC ⁷ חֵ֥ץ לְשׁוֹנָ֖ם מִרְמָ֣ה דִבֵּ֑ר בְּפִ֗יו שָׁל֤וֹם אֶת־ רֵעֵ֙הוּ֙ יְדַבֵּ֔ר וּבְקִרְבּ֖וֹ יָשִׂ֥ים אָרְבּֽוֹ׃

KJV ⁸ Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.

VULC ⁸ Sagitta vulnerans lingua eorum,
dolum locuta est.
In ore suo pacem cum amico suo loquitur,
et occulte ponit ei insidias.

WLC ⁸ הַעַל־ אֵ֥לֶּה לֹֽא־ אֶפְקָד־ בָּ֖ם נְאֻם־ יְהוָ֑ה אִ֚ם בְּג֣וֹי אֲשֶׁר־ כָּזֶ֔ה לֹ֥א תִתְנַקֵּ֖ם נַפְשִֽׁי׃

KJV ⁹ Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

VULC ⁹ Numquid super his non visitabo, dicit Dominus,
aut in gente hujusmodi non ulciscetur anima mea ?

WLC ⁹ עַל־ הֶ֨הָרִ֜ים אֶשָּׂ֧א בְכִ֣י וָנֶ֗הִי וְעַל־ נְא֤וֹת מִדְבָּר֙ קִינָ֔ה כִּ֤י נִצְּתוּ֙ מִבְּלִי־ אִ֣ישׁ עֹבֵ֔ר וְלֹ֥א שָׁמְע֖וּ ק֣וֹל מִקְנֶ֑ה מֵע֤וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְעַד־ בְּהֵמָ֔ה נָדְד֖וּ הָלָֽכוּ׃

KJV ¹⁰ For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.

VULC ¹⁰ Super montes assumam fletum ac lamentum,
et super speciosa deserti planctum,
quoniam incensa sunt, eo quod non sit vir pertransiens,
et non audierunt vocem possidentis :
a volucre cæli usque ad pecora transmigraverunt et recesserunt.

WLC ¹⁰ וְנָתַתִּ֧י אֶת־ יְרוּשָׁלִַ֛ם לְגַלִּ֖ים מְע֣וֹן תַּנִּ֑ים וְאֶת־ עָרֵ֧י יְהוּדָ֛ה אֶתֵּ֥ן שְׁמָמָ֖ה מִבְּלִ֖י יוֹשֵֽׁב׃

KJV ¹¹ And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.

VULC ¹¹ Et dabo Jerusalem in acervos arenæ,
et cubilia draconum :
et civitates Juda dabo in desolationem,
eo quod non sit habitator.

WLC ¹¹ מִֽי־ הָאִ֤ישׁ הֶֽחָכָם֙ וְיָבֵ֣ן אֶת־ זֹ֔את וַאֲשֶׁ֨ר דִּבֶּ֧ר פִּֽי־ יְהוָ֛ה אֵלָ֖יו וְיַגִּדָ֑הּ עַל־ מָה֙ אָבְדָ֣ה הָאָ֔רֶץ נִצְּתָ֥ה כַמִּדְבָּ֖ר מִבְּלִ֖י עֹבֵֽר׃

KJV ¹² Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?

VULC ¹² Quis est vir sapiens qui intelligat hoc,
et ad quem verbum oris Domini fiat, ut annuntiet istud,
quare perierit terra, et exusta sit quasi desertum,
eo quod non sit qui pertranseat ?

WLC ¹² וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֔ה עַל־ עָזְבָם֙ אֶת־ תּ֣וֹרָתִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָתַ֖תִּי לִפְנֵיהֶ֑ם וְלֹא־ שָׁמְע֥וּ בְקוֹלִ֖י וְלֹא־ הָ֥לְכוּ בָֽהּ׃

KJV ¹³ And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;

VULC ¹³ Et dixit Dominus :
Quia dereliquerunt legem meam quam dedi eis,
et non audierunt vocem meam,
et non ambulaverunt in ea,

WLC ¹³ וַיֵּ֣לְכ֔וּ אַחֲרֵ֖י שְׁרִר֣וּת לִבָּ֑ם וְאַחֲרֵי֙ הַבְּעָלִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לִמְּד֖וּם אֲבוֹתָֽם׃

KJV ¹⁴ But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:

VULC ¹⁴ et abierunt post pravitatem cordis sui,
et post Baalim, quod didicerunt a patribus suis :

WLC ¹⁴ לָכֵ֗ן כֹּֽה־ אָמַ֞ר יְהוָ֤ה צְבָאוֹת֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הִנְנִ֧י מַאֲכִילָ֛ם אֶת־ הָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֖ה לַֽעֲנָ֑ה וְהִשְׁקִיתִ֖ים מֵי־ רֹֽאשׁ׃

KJV ¹⁵ Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

VULC ¹⁵ idcirco hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël :
Ecce ego cibabo populum istum absinthio,
et potum dabo eis aquam fellis.

WLC ¹⁵ וַהֲפִֽצוֹתִים֙ בַּגּוֹיִ֔ם אֲשֶׁר֙ לֹ֣א יָֽדְע֔וּ הֵ֖מָּה וַֽאֲבוֹתָ֑ם וְשִׁלַּחְתִּ֤י אַֽחֲרֵיהֶם֙ אֶת־ הַחֶ֔רֶב עַ֥ד כַּלּוֹתִ֖י אוֹתָֽם׃

KJV ¹⁶ I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.

VULC ¹⁶ Et dispergam eos in gentibus
quas non noverunt ipsi et patres eorum,
et mittam post eos gladium,
donec consumantur.

WLC ¹⁶ כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת הִתְבּֽוֹנְנ֛וּ וְקִרְא֥וּ לַמְקוֹנְנ֖וֹת וּתְבוֹאֶ֑ינָה וְאֶל־ הַחֲכָמ֥וֹת שִׁלְח֖וּ וְתָבֽוֹאנָה׃

KJV ¹⁷ Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:

VULC ¹⁷ Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël :
Contemplamini, et vocate lamentatrices, et veniant :
et ad eas quæ sapientes sunt mittite, et properent :

WLC ¹⁷ וּתְמַהֵ֕רְנָה וְתִשֶּׂ֥נָה עָלֵ֖ינוּ נֶ֑הִי וְתֵרַ֤דְנָה עֵינֵ֙ינוּ֙ דִּמְעָ֔ה וְעַפְעַפֵּ֖ינוּ יִזְּלוּ־ מָֽיִם׃

KJV ¹⁸ 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.

VULC ¹⁸ festinent, et assumant super nos lamentum :
deducant oculi nostri lacrimas,
et palpebræ nostræ defluant aquis.

WLC ¹⁸ כִּ֣י ק֥וֹל נְהִ֛י נִשְׁמַ֥ע מִצִּיּ֖וֹן אֵ֣יךְ שֻׁדָּ֑דְנוּ בֹּ֤שְׁנֽוּ מְאֹד֙ כִּֽי־ עָזַ֣בְנוּ אָ֔רֶץ כִּ֥י הִשְׁלִ֖יכוּ מִשְׁכְּנוֹתֵֽינוּ׃

KJV ¹⁹ For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.

VULC ¹⁹ Quia vox lamentationis audita est de Sion :
Quomodo vastati sumus,
et confusi vehementer ?
quia dereliquimus terram ;
quoniam dejecta sunt tabernacula nostra.

WLC ¹⁹ כִּֽי־ שְׁמַ֤עְנָה נָשִׁים֙ דְּבַר־ יְהוָ֔ה וְתִקַּ֥ח אָזְנְכֶ֖ם דְּבַר־ פִּ֑יו וְלַמֵּ֤דְנָה בְנֽוֹתֵיכֶם֙ נֶ֔הִי וְאִשָּׁ֥ה רְעוּתָ֖הּ קִינָֽה׃

KJV ²⁰ Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.

VULC ²⁰ Audite ergo, mulieres, verbum Domini,
et assumant aures vestræ sermonem oris ejus,
et docete filias vestras lamentum,
et unaquæque proximam suam planctum :

WLC ²⁰ כִּֽי־ עָ֤לָה מָ֙וֶת֙ בְּחַלּוֹנֵ֔ינוּ בָּ֖א בְּאַרְמְנוֹתֵ֑ינוּ לְהַכְרִ֤ית עוֹלָל֙ מִח֔וּץ בַּחוּרִ֖ים מֵרְחֹבֽוֹת׃

KJV ²¹ For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.

VULC ²¹ quia ascendit mors per fenestras nostras ;
ingressa est domos nostras,
disperdere parvulos deforis,
juvenes de plateis.]

WLC ²¹ דַּבֵּ֗ר כֹּ֚ה נְאֻם־ יְהוָ֔ה וְנָֽפְלָה֙ נִבְלַ֣ת הָֽאָדָ֔ם כְּדֹ֖מֶן עַל־ פְּנֵ֣י הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה וּכְעָמִ֛יר מֵאַחֲרֵ֥י הַקֹּצֵ֖ר וְאֵ֥ין מְאַסֵּֽף׃

KJV ²² Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.

VULC ²² Loquere : [Hæc dicit Dominus :
Et cadet morticinum hominis
quasi stercus super faciem regionis,
et quasi fœnum post tergum metentis,
et non est qui colligat.

WLC ²² כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה אַל־ יִתְהַלֵּ֤ל חָכָם֙ בְּחָכְמָת֔וֹ וְאַל־ יִתְהַלֵּ֥ל הַגִּבּ֖וֹר בִּגְבֽוּרָת֑וֹ אַל־ יִתְהַלֵּ֥ל עָשִׁ֖יר בְּעָשְׁרֽוֹ׃

KJV ²³ Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

VULC ²³ Hæc dicit Dominus :
Non glorietur sapiens in sapientia sua,
et non glorietur fortis in fortitudine sua,
et non glorietur dives in divitiis suis :

WLC ²³ כִּ֣י אִם־ בְּזֹ֞את יִתְהַלֵּ֣ל הַמִּתְהַלֵּ֗ל הַשְׂכֵּל֮ וְיָדֹ֣עַ אוֹתִי֒ כִּ֚י אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֔ה עֹ֥שֶׂה חֶ֛סֶד מִשְׁפָּ֥ט וּצְדָקָ֖ה בָּאָ֑רֶץ כִּֽי־ בְאֵ֥לֶּה חָפַ֖צְתִּי נְאֻם־ יְהוָֽה׃

KJV ²⁴ But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

VULC ²⁴ sed in hoc glorietur, qui gloriatur,
scire et nosse me,
quia ego sum Dominus qui facio misericordiam,
et judicium, et justitiam in terra :
hæc enim placent mihi, ait Dominus.

WLC ²⁴ הִנֵּ֛ה יָמִ֥ים בָּאִ֖ים נְאֻם־ יְהוָ֑ה וּפָ֣קַדְתִּ֔י עַל־ כָּל־ מ֖וּל בְּעָרְלָֽה׃

KJV ²⁵ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;

VULC ²⁵ Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus,
et visitabo super omnem qui circumcisum habet præputium,

WLC ²⁵ עַל־ מִצְרַ֣יִם וְעַל־ יְהוּדָ֗ה וְעַל־ אֱד֞וֹם וְעַל־ בְּנֵ֤י עַמּוֹן֙ וְעַל־ מוֹאָ֔ב וְעַל֙ כָּל־ קְצוּצֵ֣י פֵאָ֔ה הַיֹּשְׁבִ֖ים בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר כִּ֤י כָל־ הַגּוֹיִם֙ עֲרֵלִ֔ים וְכָל־ בֵּ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עַרְלֵי־ לֵֽב׃

KJV ²⁶ Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.

VULC ²⁶ super Ægyptum, et super Juda, et super Edom,
et super filios Ammon, et super Moab ;
et super omnes qui attonsi sunt in comam,
habitantes in deserto :
quia omnes gentes habent præputium,
omnis autem domus Israël incircumcisi sunt corde.]
