Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, says the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
in tempore illo ait Dominus eicient ossa regis Iuda et ossa principum eius et ossa sacerdotum et ossa prophetarum et ossa eorum qui habitaverunt Hierusalem de sepulchris suis
2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung on the face of the earth.
et pandent ea ad solem et lunam et omnem militiam caeli quae dilexerunt et quibus servierunt et post quae ambulaverunt et quae quaesierunt et adoraverunt non colligentur et non sepelientur in sterquilinium super faciem terrae erunt
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places where I have driven them, says the LORD of hosts.
et eligent magis mortem quam vitam omnes qui residui fuerint de cognatione hac pessima in universis locis quae derelicta sunt ad quae eieci eos dicit Dominus exercituum
4 Moreover you shall say to them, Thus says the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus numquid qui cadet non resurget et qui aversus est non revertetur
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
quare ergo aversus est populus iste in Hierusalem aversione contentiosa adprehenderunt mendacium et noluerunt reverti
6 I listened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rushes into the battle.
adtendi et auscultavi nemo quod bonum est loquitur nullus est qui agat paenitentiam super peccato suo dicens quid feci omnes conversi sunt ad cursum suum quasi equus impetu vadens in proelio
7 Yes, the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
milvus in caelo cognovit tempus suum turtur et hirundo et ciconia custodierunt tempus adventus sui populus autem meus non cognovit iudicium Domini
8 How do you say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? See, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
quomodo dicitis sapientes nos sumus et lex Domini nobiscum est vere mendacium operatus est stilus mendax scribarum
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: see, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
confusi sunt sapientes perterriti et capti sunt verbum enim Domini proiecerunt et sapientia nulla est in eis
10 Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
propterea dabo mulieres eorum exteris agros eorum heredibus quia a minimo usque ad maximum omnes avaritiam sequuntur a propheta usque ad sacerdotem cuncti faciunt mendacium
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
et sanabant contritionem filiae populi mei ad ignominiam dicentes pax pax cum non esset pax
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? no, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
confusi sunt quia abominationem fecerunt quinimmo confusione non sunt confusi et erubescere nescierunt idcirco cadent inter corruentes in tempore visitationis suae corruent dicit Dominus
13 I will surely consume them, says the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
congregans congregabo eos ait Dominus non est uva in vitibus et non sunt ficus in ficulnea folium defluxit et dedi eis quae praetergressa sunt
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defended cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
quare sedemus convenite et ingrediamur civitatem munitam et sileamus ibi quia Dominus noster silere nos fecit et potum dedit nobis aquam fellis peccavimus enim Domino
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
expectavimus pacem et non erat bonum tempus medellae et ecce formido
16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
a Dan auditus est fremitus equorum eius a voce hinnituum pugnatorum eius commota est omnis terra et venerunt et devoraverunt terram et plenitudinem eius urbem et habitatores eius
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says the LORD.
quia ecce ego mittam vobis serpentes regulos quibus non est incantatio et mordebunt vos ait Dominus
18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
dolor meus super dolorem in me cor meum maerens
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
ecce vox clamoris filiae populi mei de terra longinqua numquid Dominus non est in Sion aut rex eius non est in ea quare ergo me ad iracundiam concitaverunt in sculptilibus suis et in vanitatibus alienis
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
transiit messis finita est aestas et nos salvati non sumus
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment has taken hold on me.
super contritionem filiae populi mei contritus sum et contristatus stupor obtinuit me
22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
numquid resina non est in Galaad aut medicus non est ibi quare igitur non est obducta cicatrix filiae populi mei
