Jeremiah 9

KJV

1  Oh that⁴³¹⁰ my head⁷²¹⁸ were⁵⁴¹⁴ waters,⁴³²⁵ and mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ a fountain⁴⁷²⁶ of tears,¹⁸³² that I might weep¹⁰⁵⁸ day³¹¹⁹ and night³⁹¹⁵ for⁵⁹²¹ the slain²⁴⁹¹ of the daughter¹³²³ of my people!⁵⁹⁷¹

2  Oh that I had^{4310 5414} in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ a lodging place⁴⁴¹¹ of wayfaring men;⁷³² that I might leave^{5800 853} my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and go¹⁹⁸⁰ from^{4480 854} them! for³⁵⁸⁸ they be all³⁶⁰⁵ adulterers,⁵⁰⁰³ an assembly⁶¹¹⁶ of treacherous men.⁸⁹⁸

3  And they bend^{1869 853} their tongues³⁹⁵⁶ like their bow⁷¹⁹⁸ for lies:⁸²⁶⁷ but they are not³⁸⁰⁸ valiant¹³⁹⁶ for the truth⁵³⁰ upon the earth;⁷⁷⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ they proceed³³¹⁸ from evil^{4480 7451} to⁴¹³ evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ and they know³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

4  Take ye heed⁸¹⁰⁴ every one³⁷⁶ of his neighbor,^{4480 7453} and trust⁹⁸² ye not⁴⁰⁸ in⁵⁹²¹ any³⁶⁰⁵ brother:²⁵¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ every³⁶⁰⁵ brother²⁵¹ will utterly supplant,^{6117 6117} and every³⁶⁰⁵ neighbor⁷⁴⁵³ will walk¹⁹⁸⁰ with slanders.⁷⁴⁰⁰

5  And they will deceive²⁰⁴⁸ every one³⁷⁶ his neighbor,⁷⁴⁵³ and will not³⁸⁰⁸ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ the truth:⁵⁷¹ they have taught³⁹²⁵ their tongue³⁹⁵⁶ to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ lies,⁸²⁶⁷ and weary themselves³⁸¹¹ to commit iniquity.⁵⁷⁵³

6  Thine habitation³⁴²⁷ is in the midst⁸⁴³² of deceit;⁴⁸²⁰ through deceit⁴⁸²⁰ they refuse³⁹⁸⁵ to know³⁰⁴⁵ me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

7  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will melt⁶⁸⁸⁴ them, and try⁹⁷⁴ them; for³⁵⁸⁸ how³⁴⁹ shall I do⁶²¹³ for^{4480 6440} the daughter¹³²³ of my people?⁵⁹⁷¹

8  Their tongue³⁹⁵⁶ is as an arrow²⁶⁷¹ shot out;⁷⁸¹⁹ it speaketh¹⁶⁹⁶ deceit:⁴⁸²⁰ one speaketh¹⁶⁹⁶ peaceably⁷⁹⁶⁵ to⁸⁵⁴ his neighbor⁷⁴⁵³ with his mouth,⁶³¹⁰ but in heart⁷¹³⁰ he layeth⁷⁷⁶⁰ his wait.⁶⁹⁶

9  Shall I not³⁸⁰⁸ visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ them for⁵⁹²¹ these⁴²⁸ things? saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ my soul⁵³¹⁵ be avenged⁵³⁵⁸ on such⁸³⁴ a nation¹⁴⁷¹ as this?²⁰⁸⁸

10  For⁵⁹²¹ the mountains²⁰²² will I take up⁵³⁷⁵ a weeping¹⁰⁶⁵ and wailing,⁵⁰⁹² and for⁵⁹²¹ the habitations⁴⁹⁹⁹ of the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ a lamentation,⁷⁰¹⁵ because³⁵⁸⁸ they are burned up,³³⁴¹ so that none^{4480 1097 376} can pass through⁵⁶⁷⁴ them; neither³⁸⁰⁸ can men hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the cattle;⁴⁷³⁵ both the fowl^{4480 5775} of the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ and the beast⁹²⁹ are fled;⁵⁰⁷⁴ they are gone.¹⁹⁸⁰

11  And I will make^{5414 853} Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ heaps,¹⁵³⁰ and a den⁴⁵⁸³ of dragons;⁸⁵⁷⁷ and I will make⁵⁴¹⁴ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah³⁰⁶³ desolate,⁸⁰⁷⁷ without^{4480 1097} an inhabitant.³⁴²⁷

12  Who⁴³¹⁰ is the wise²⁴⁵⁰ man,³⁷⁶ that may understand^{995 853} this?²⁰⁶³ and who is he to⁴¹³ whom the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken,¹⁶⁹⁶ that he may declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ it, for⁵⁹²¹ what⁴¹⁰⁰ the land⁷⁷⁶ perisheth⁶ and is burned up³³⁴¹ like a wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ that none^{4480 1097} passeth through?⁵⁶⁷⁴

13  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ saith,⁵⁵⁹ Because⁵⁹²¹ they have forsaken^{5800 853} my law⁸⁴⁵¹ which⁸³⁴ I set⁵⁴¹⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them, and have not³⁸⁰⁸ obeyed⁸⁰⁸⁵ my voice,⁶⁹⁶³ neither³⁸⁰⁸ walked¹⁹⁸⁰ therein;

14  But have walked¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ the imagination⁸³⁰⁷ of their own heart,³⁸²⁰ and after³¹⁰ Baalim,¹¹⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ their fathers¹ taught³⁹²⁵ them:

15  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ the God⁴³⁰ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will feed³⁹⁸ them, even ⁸⁵³ this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ with wormwood,³⁹³⁹ and give them water⁴³²⁵ of gall⁷²¹⁹ to drink.⁸²⁴⁸

16  I will scatter⁶³²⁷ them also among the heathen,¹⁴⁷¹ whom⁸³⁴ neither³⁸⁰⁸ they¹⁹⁹² nor their fathers¹ have known:³⁰⁴⁵ and I will send^{7971 853} a sword²⁷¹⁹ after³¹⁰ them, till⁵⁷⁰⁴ I have consumed³⁶¹⁵ them.

17  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ Consider⁹⁹⁵ ye, and call⁷¹²¹ for the mourning women,⁶⁹⁶⁹ that they may come;⁹³⁵ and send⁷⁹⁷¹ for⁴¹³ cunning²⁴⁵⁰ women, that they may come:⁹³⁵

18  And let them make haste,⁴¹¹⁶ and take up⁵³⁷⁵ a wailing⁵⁰⁹² for⁵⁹²¹ us, that our eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ may run down³³⁸¹ with tears,¹⁸³² and our eyelids⁶⁰⁷⁹ gush out⁵¹⁴⁰ with waters.⁴³²⁵

19  For³⁵⁸⁸ a voice⁶⁹⁶³ of wailing⁵⁰⁹² is heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ out of Zion,^{4480 6726} How³⁴⁹ are we spoiled!⁷⁷⁰³ we are greatly³⁹⁶⁶ confounded,⁹⁵⁴ because³⁵⁸⁸ we have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ the land,⁷⁷⁶ because³⁵⁸⁸ our dwellings⁴⁹⁰⁸ have cast us out.⁷⁹⁹³

20  Yet³⁵⁸⁸ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ O ye women,⁸⁰² and let your ear²⁴¹ receive³⁹⁴⁷ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of his mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and teach³⁹²⁵ your daughters¹³²³ wailing,⁵⁰⁹² and every one⁸⁰² her neighbor⁷⁴⁶⁸ lamentation.⁷⁰¹⁵

21  For³⁵⁸⁸ death⁴¹⁹⁴ is come up⁵⁹²⁷ into our windows,²⁴⁷⁴ and is entered⁹³⁵ into our palaces,⁷⁵⁹ to cut off³⁷⁷² the children⁵⁷⁶⁸ from without,^{4480 2351} and the young men⁹⁷⁰ from the streets.^{4480 7339}

22  Speak,¹⁶⁹⁶ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Even the carcasses⁵⁰³⁸ of men¹²⁰ shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ as dung¹⁸²⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ the open⁶⁴⁴⁰ field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and as the handful⁵⁹⁹⁵ after^{4480 310} the harvest man,⁷¹¹⁴ and none³⁶⁹ shall gather⁶²² them.

23  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Let not⁴⁰⁸ the wise²⁴⁵⁰ man glory¹⁹⁸⁴ in his wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ neither⁴⁰⁸ let the mighty¹³⁶⁸ man glory¹⁹⁸⁴ in his might,¹³⁶⁹ let not⁴⁰⁸ the rich⁶²²³ man glory¹⁹⁸⁴ in his riches:⁶²³⁹

24  But^{3588 518} let him that glorieth¹⁹⁸⁴ glory¹⁹⁸⁴ in this,²⁰⁶³ that he understandeth⁷⁹¹⁹ and knoweth³⁰⁴⁵ me, that³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ am the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ which exercise⁶²¹³ lovingkindness,²⁶¹⁷ judgment,⁴⁹⁴¹ and righteousness,⁶⁶⁶⁶ in the earth:⁷⁷⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ in these⁴²⁸ things I delight,²⁶⁵⁴ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

25  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the days³¹¹⁷ come,⁹³⁵ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that I will punish^{6485 5921} all³⁶⁰⁵ them which are circumcised⁴¹³⁵ with the uncircumcised;⁶¹⁹⁰

26  Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and Judah,³⁰⁶³ and Edom,¹²³ and the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that are in the utmost⁷¹¹² corners,⁶²⁸⁵ that dwell³⁴²⁷ in the wilderness:⁴⁰⁵⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ these nations¹⁴⁷¹ are uncircumcised,⁶¹⁸⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ are uncircumcised⁶¹⁸⁹ in the heart.³⁸²⁰

1 τίς δῴη μοι ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ σταθμὸν ἔσχατον καὶ καταλείψω τὸν λαόν μου καὶ ἀπελεύσομαι ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ὅτι πάντες μοιχῶνται σύνοδος ἀθετούντων

2 καὶ ἐνέτειναν τὴν γλῶσσαν αὐτῶν ὡς τόξον ψεῦδος καὶ οὐ πίστις ἐνίσχυσεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅτι ἐκ κακῶν εἰς κακὰ ἐξήλθοσαν καὶ ἐμὲ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν

3 ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ φυλάξασθε καὶ ἐπ᾽ ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν μὴ πεποίθατε ὅτι πᾶς ἀδελφὸς πτέρνῃ πτερνιεῖ καὶ πᾶς φίλος δολίως πορεύσεται

4 ἕκαστος κατὰ τοῦ φίλου αὐτοῦ καταπαίξεται ἀλήθειαν οὐ μὴ λαλήσωσιν μεμάθηκεν ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτῶν λαλεῖν ψευδῆ ἠδίκησαν καὶ οὐ διέλιπον τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι

5 τόκος ἐπὶ τόκῳ δόλος ἐπὶ δόλῳ οὐκ ἤθελον εἰδέναι με

6 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πυρώσω αὐτοὺς καὶ δοκιμῶ αὐτούς ὅτι ποιήσω ἀπὸ προσώπου πονηρίας θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου

7 βολὶς τιτρώσκουσα ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτῶν δόλια τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ στόματος αὐτῶν τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ λαλεῖ εἰρηνικὰ καὶ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ἔχει τὴν ἔχθραν

8 μὴ ἐπὶ τούτοις οὐκ ἐπισκέψομαι λέγει κύριος ἢ ἐν λαῷ τῷ τοιούτῳ οὐκ ἐκδικήσει ἡ ψυχή μου

9 ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη λάβετε κοπετὸν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς τρίβους τῆς ἐρήμου θρῆνον ὅτι ἐξέλιπον παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἀνθρώπους οὐκ ἤκουσαν φωνὴν ὑπάρξεως ἀπὸ πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἕως κτηνῶν ἐξέστησαν ᾤχοντο

10 καὶ δώσω τὴν Ιερουσαλημ εἰς μετοικίαν καὶ εἰς κατοικητήριον δρακόντων καὶ τὰς πόλεις Ιουδα εἰς ἀφανισμὸν θήσομαι παρὰ τὸ μὴ κατοικεῖσθαι

11 τίς ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ συνετός καὶ συνέτω τοῦτο καὶ ᾧ λόγος στόματος κυρίου πρὸς αὐτόν ἀναγγειλάτω ὑμῖν ἕνεκεν τίνος ἀπώλετο ἡ γῆ ἀνήφθη ὡς ἔρημος παρὰ τὸ μὴ διοδεύεσθαι αὐτήν

12 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρός με διὰ τὸ ἐγκαταλιπεῖν αὐτοὺς τὸν νόμον μου ὃν ἔδωκα πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν τῆς φωνῆς μου

13 ἀλλ᾽ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω τῶν ἀρεστῶν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν τῆς κακῆς καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν εἰδώλων ἃ ἐδίδαξαν αὐτοὺς οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν

14 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ψωμιῶ αὐτοὺς ἀνάγκας καὶ ποτιῶ αὐτοὺς ὕδωρ χολῆς

15 καὶ διασκορπιῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν εἰς οὓς οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπαποστελῶ ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς τὴν μάχαιραν ἕως τοῦ ἐξαναλῶσαι αὐτοὺς ἐν αὐτῇ

16 τάδε λέγει κύριος καλέσατε τὰς θρηνούσας καὶ ἐλθέτωσαν καὶ πρὸς τὰς σοφὰς ἀποστείλατε καὶ φθεγξάσθωσαν

17 καὶ λαβέτωσαν ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς θρῆνον καὶ καταγαγέτωσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὑμῶν δάκρυα καὶ τὰ βλέφαρα ὑμῶν ῥείτω ὕδωρ

18 ὅτι φωνὴ οἴκτου ἠκούσθη ἐν Σιων πῶς ἐταλαιπωρήσαμεν κατῃσχύνθημεν σφόδρα ὅτι ἐγκατελίπομεν τὴν γῆν καὶ ἀπερρίψαμεν τὰ σκηνώματα ἡμῶν

19 ἀκούσατε δή γυναῖκες λόγον θεοῦ καὶ δεξάσθω τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν λόγους στόματος αὐτοῦ καὶ διδάξατε τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν οἶκτον καὶ γυνὴ τὴν πλησίον αὐτῆς θρῆνον

20 ὅτι ἀνέβη θάνατος διὰ τῶν θυρίδων ὑμῶν εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν γῆν ὑμῶν τοῦ ἐκτρῖψαι νήπια ἔξωθεν καὶ νεανίσκους ἀπὸ τῶν πλατειῶν

21 καὶ ἔσονται οἱ νεκροὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων εἰς παράδειγμα ἐπὶ προσώπου τοῦ πεδίου τῆς γῆς ὑμῶν καὶ ὡς χόρτος ὀπίσω θερίζοντος καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ συνάγων

22 τάδε λέγει κύριος μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ σοφὸς ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ἐν τῇ ἰσχύι αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ πλούσιος ἐν τῷ πλούτῳ αὐτοῦ

23 ἀλλ᾽ ἢ ἐν τούτῳ καυχάσθω ὁ καυχώμενος συνίειν καὶ γινώσκειν ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος ποιῶν ἔλεος καὶ κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅτι ἐν τούτοις τὸ θέλημά μου λέγει κύριος

24 ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται λέγει κύριος καὶ ἐπισκέψομαι ἐπὶ πάντας περιτετμημένους ἀκροβυστίας αὐτῶν

25 ἐπ᾽ Αἴγυπτον καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν Ιουδαίαν καὶ ἐπὶ Εδωμ καὶ ἐπὶ υἱοὺς Αμμων καὶ ἐπὶ υἱοὺς Μωαβ καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα περικειρόμενον τὰ κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ὅτι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἀπερίτμητα σαρκί καὶ πᾶς οἶκος Ισραηλ ἀπερίτμητοι καρδίας αὐτῶν

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.]
