耶9:1 但愿我的头是水井，我的眼是泪的泉源；我好为我同胞（“同胞”原文作“人民的女子”）中被杀的，昼夜哭泣。（本节在《马索拉抄本》为8:23）
耶9:1 If only my head was a stream of waters and my eyes fountains of weeping, so that I might go on weeping day and night for the dead of the daughter of my people!
耶9:2 但愿我在旷野有一个旅客住宿的地方，好使我离开我的同胞，可以离他们而去；因为他们都是行奸淫的，是行诡诈之徒。（本节在《马索拉抄本》为9:1）
耶9:2 If only I had in the waste land a night's resting-place for travellers, so that I might go away, far from my people! for they are all untrue, a band of false men.
耶9:3 “他们弯曲舌头，像弯弓一样；在这地得势的是虚谎，不是诚实；因为他们变本加厉地作恶，连我也不认识。”这是耶和华的宣告。
耶9:3 Their tongues are bent like a bow to send out false words: they have become strong in the land, but not for good faith: they go on from evil to evil, and they have no knowledge of me, says the Lord.
耶9:4 “你们各人要提防自己的邻舍，不要信靠兄弟；因为每一个兄弟都在欺骗人，每一个邻舍都搬弄是非。
耶9:4 Let everyone keep watch on his neighbour, and put no faith in any brother: for every brother will certainly be tricking his brother, and every neighbour will go about saying evil.
耶9:5 他们各人都欺骗自己的邻舍，不说诚实话。他们训练自己的舌头说谎话，竭力作孽，以致他们不能回转（本句按照《马索拉抄本》意思难确定；现参照《七十士译本》翻译）。
耶9:5 Everyone will make sport of his neighbour with deceit, not saying what is true: their tongues have been trained to say false words; they are twisted, hating to come back.
耶9:6 欺凌加上欺凌，诡诈加上诡诈，他们不肯认识我。”这是耶和华的宣告。
耶9:6 There is wrong on wrong, deceit on deceit; they have given up the knowledge of me, says the Lord.
耶9:7 因此，万军之耶和华这样说：“看哪！我要熬炼他们，试验他们；因我子民（“我子民”原文作“我子民的女子”）的罪恶，我还可以作什么呢？
耶9:7 So the Lord of armies has said, See, I will make them soft in the fire and put them to the test; this I will do because of their evil-doing.
耶9:8 他们的舌头是杀人的利箭，嘴里说的是诡诈；跟邻舍说话满口甜言蜜语，心底里却设计陷害他。
耶9:8 His tongue is an arrow causing death; the words of his mouth are deceit: he says words of peace to his neighbour, but in his heart he is waiting secretly for him.
耶9:9 我因这些事怎能不惩罚他们呢？像这样的国家，我怎能不亲自报复呢？”这是耶和华的宣告。
耶9:9 Am I not to send punishment for these things? says the Lord: will not my soul take payment from such a nation as this?
耶9:10 我要为众山哭泣哀号，为旷野的草场唱哀歌；因为都已成为荒凉，无人经过，也听不到牲畜的叫声；无论空中的飞鸟，地上的走兽，都逃走跑掉了。
耶9:10 Give yourselves to weeping, crying out in sorrow for the mountains; and for the fields of the waste land send up a song of grief, because they are burned up, so that no one goes through; there is no sound of cattle; the bird of the heavens and the beast are in flight and are gone.
耶9:11 “我要使耶路撒冷变成乱堆，成为野狗的巢穴；我要使犹大的城市荒凉，无人居住。”
耶9:11 And I will make Jerusalem a mass of broken stones, the living-place of jackals; and I will make the towns of Judah a waste, with no man living there.
耶9:12 谁是智慧人可以解明这事？耶和华的口向谁说过，以致他可以传讲这事？为什么这地被毁坏，像旷野般荒凉，无人经过呢？
耶9:12 Who is the wise man able to see this? who is he to whom the word of the Lord has come, so that he may make it clear? why is the land given to destruction and burned up like a waste place, so that no one goes through?
耶9:13 耶和华说：“这是因为他们离弃了我摆在他们面前的律法，不听从我的话，没有遵行我的律法；
耶9:13 And the Lord said, Because they have given up my law which I put before them, giving no attention to my voice and not being guided by it;
耶9:14 反而随从自己顽梗的心行事，照他们列祖所教训的，随从众巴力。”
耶9:14 But they have been walking in the pride of their hearts, going after the Baals, as their fathers gave them teaching.
耶9:15 因此，万军之耶和华以色列的 神这样说：“看哪！我要使这人民吃苦堇，喝毒水。
耶9:15 So the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, I will give them, even this people, bitter plants for food and bitter water for drink.
耶9:16 我要把他们分散在列国中，就是他们和他们的列祖都不认识的列国；我要使刀剑追杀他们，直到把他们灭绝。”
耶9:16 And I will send them wandering among the nations, among people strange to them and to their fathers: and I will send the sword after them till I have put an end to them.
耶9:17 万军之耶和华这样说：“你们要思想，要把唱哀歌的妇女召来，把那些擅长哀哭的妇女请来；
耶9:17 This is what the Lord of armies has said: Take thought and send for the weeping women, so that they may come; and send for the wise women, so that they may come:
耶9:18 叫他们赶快为我们举哀，使我们的眼流下眼泪，使我们的眼皮涌出泪水。
耶9:18 Let them quickly make cries of sorrow for us, so that drops may be flowing from our eyes till they are streaming with water.
耶9:19 因为从锡安可以听到哀声，说：‘我们何等衰败！我们多么羞耻！因我们丢弃了这地，我们的家园被拆毁了。’”
耶9:19 For a sound of weeping goes up from Zion, a cry, How has destruction come on us? we are overcome with shame because we have gone away from our land; he has sent us out from our house.
耶9:20 妇女们哪！你们要听耶和华的话，你们的耳朵要领受他口中的话；要教导你们的女儿举哀，各人要彼此学习哀歌。
耶9:20 But even now, give ear to the word of the Lord, O you women; let your ears be open to the word of his mouth, training your daughters to give cries of sorrow, everyone teaching her neighbour a song of grief.
耶9:21 因为死亡从窗户上来，进入我们的堡垒；要从街上剪除孩童，从广场上剪除年轻人。
耶9:21 For death has come up into our windows, forcing its way into our great houses; cutting off the children in the streets and the young men in the wide places.
耶9:22 你要这样说（这是耶和华的宣告）：“人的尸体横卧着，像田野上的粪肥，又像遗留在收割者后面的麦穗，无人拾取。”
耶9:22 The bodies of men will be falling like waste on the open fields, and like grain dropped by the grain-cutter, and no one will take them up.
耶9:23 耶和华这样说：“智慧人不可夸耀自己的智慧，勇士不可夸耀自己的勇力，财主不可夸耀自己的财富。
耶9:23 This is the word of the Lord: Let not the wise man take pride in his wisdom, or the strong man in his strength, or the man of wealth in his wealth:
耶9:24 夸口的却要因了解我，认识我而夸口；认识我是耶和华，我在地上施行慈爱、公正、公义；因为我喜悦这些事。”这是耶和华的宣告。
耶9:24 But if any man has pride, let it be in this, that he has the wisdom to have knowledge of me, that I am the Lord, working mercy, giving true decisions, and doing righteousness in the earth: for in these things I have delight, says the Lord.
耶9:25 “看哪！日子快到（这是耶和华的宣告），我必惩罚所有只在身体受过割礼，内心却未受割礼的人，
耶9:25 See, the day is coming, says the Lord, when I will send punishment on all those who have circumcision in the flesh;
耶9:26 就是埃及、犹大、以东、亚扪、摩押和所有剃除鬓发，住在旷野的人；因为列国的人都没有受过割礼，甚至以色列全家的内心也没有受过割礼。”
耶9:26 On Egypt and on Judah and on Edom and on the children of Ammon and on Moab and on all who have the ends of their hair cut, who are living in the waste land: for all these nations and all the people of Israel are without circumcision in their hearts.
