8 "Në atë kohë," thotë Zoti, "do të nxirren nga varret eshtrat e mbretërve të Judës, eshtrat e princërve, eshtrat e profetëve dhe eshtrat e banorëve të Jeruzalemit,
2 dhe do të ekspozohen para diellit, para hënës dhe para tërë ushtrisë së qiellit, që ata kanë dashur, kanë shërbyer, kanë ndjekur, kanë konsultuar dhe para të cilëve kanë rënë përmbys; nuk do të mblidhen as do të groposen, por do të jenë si pleh mbi faqen e dheut.
3 Atëherë vdekja do të jetë më e mirë se jeta për të gjitha mbeturinat e kësaj race të keqe në tërë vendet ku do t’i kem shpërndarë," thotë Zoti i ushtrive.
4 Ti do t’u thuash atyre: "Kështu thotë Zoti: Në rast se dikush rrëzohet, a nuk ngrihet vallë? Në rast se dikush ndërron drejtimin, a nuk kthehet vallë?
5 Pse, pra, ky popull, o Jeruzalem, është shmangur me një rebelim të përjetshëm? Ngulin këmbë në mashtrim dhe nuk pranojnë të kthehen.
6 U kam kushtuar kujdes dhe i kam dëgjuar, por ata nuk flasin drejt; asnjeri nuk pendohet për ligësinë e tij dhe nuk thotë: "Çfarë bëra unë?". Secili merr përsëri vrapimin e tij, si një kalë që hidhet në betejë.
7 Madje edhe lejleku i qiellit i njeh stinët e tij, turtulli, dallëndyshja dhe krilat shikojnë me kujdes kohën e kthimit të tyre, por populli im nuk e njeh ligjin e Zotit.
8 Si mund të thoni: "Ne jemi të urtë dhe ligji i Zotit është me ne"? Por ja, pena e rreme e shkruesve e ka bërë një falsitet.
9 Njerëzit e ditur do të turpërohen, do të tremben dhe do të kapen. Ja, kanë hedhur poshtë fjalën e Zotit; çfarë diturie mund të kenë?
10 Prandaj bashkëshortet e tyre do t’ua jap të tjerëve dhe arat e tyre pronarëve të rinj, sepse nga më i vogli deri te më i madhi lakmojnë fitime; nga profeti deri te prifti të gjithë përdorin gënjeshtrën.
11 Ata mjekojnë shkel e shko plagën e bijës së popullit tim, duke thënë: Paqe, paqe,," kur nuk ekziston paqja.
12 A u vinte turp vallë kur kryenin veprime të neveritshme? Jo! nuk kishin turp aspak dhe nuk dinin ç’është të skuqesh. Prandaj do të rrëzohen midis atyre që rrëzohen; kur do t’i vizitoj do të përmbysen," thotë Zoti.
13 Do t’i shfaros me siguri," thotë Zoti. "Nuk do të ketë më rrush te hardhia as fiq te fiku dhe gjethet do të fishken. Edhe gjërat që u kam dhënë do t’u hiqen".
14 "Pse rrimë ulur? Mblidhuni dhe të hyjmë në qytetet e fortifikuara, dhe në to të vdesim. Sepse Zoti, Perëndia ynë, na bën të vdesim dhe na bën të pimë ujë të helmuar, sepse kemi mëkatuar kundër Zotit.
15 Prisnim paqen, por nuk erdhi asnjë e mirë, një kohë shërimi, por ja, terrori".
16 Nga Dani dëgjohet turfullima e kuajve të tij; në zhurmën e hingëllimave të kuajve të tij të luftës dridhet gjithë vendi, sepse vijnë dhe gllabërojnë vendin dhe tërë ato që ai ka, qytetin dhe banorët e tij.
17 "Sepse ja, unë do të dërgoj kundër jush gjarpërinj dhe nepërka, kundër të cilëve nuk vlen asnjë yshtje dhe ata do t’ju kafshojnë," thotë Zoti.
18 Sikur të gjeja ngushëllim për dhembjen time. Zemra po më ligështohet përbrenda.
19 Ja një zë: është britma e bijës së popullit tim nga një tokë e largët: Mos vallë Zoti është në Sion? A nuk është mbreti i tij në mes të tij??". Pse kanë ngacmuar zemërimin tim me shëmbëlltyrat e tyre të gdhendura dhe mee idhuj të huaj?".
20 Korrja ka mbaruar, vera ka marrë fund dhe ne nuk kemi shpëtuar.
21 Për plagën e bijës së popullit tim jam i dëshpëruar, po mbaj zi, jam i tmerruar.
22 A nuk ka vallë ndonjë balsam në Galaad, a nuk ka atje ndonjë mjek? Pse, pra, nuk po i vjen shërimi bijës së popullit tim?

Jeremiah 8
New International Version
8 “‘At that time, declares the Lord, the bones of the kings and officials of Judah, the bones of the priests and prophets, and the bones(A) of the people of Jerusalem will be removed(B) from their graves. 2 They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served(C) and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped.(D) They will not be gathered up or buried,(E) but will be like dung lying on the ground.(F) 3 Wherever I banish them,(G) all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life,(H) declares the Lord Almighty.’
Sin and Punishment
4 “Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says:
“‘When people fall down, do they not get up?(I)
When someone turns away,(J) do they not return?
5 Why then have these people turned away?
Why does Jerusalem always turn away?
They cling to deceit;(K)
they refuse to return.(L)
6 I have listened(M) attentively,
but they do not say what is right.
None of them repent(N) of their wickedness,
saying, “What have I done?”
Each pursues their own course(O)
like a horse charging into battle.
7 Even the stork in the sky
knows her appointed seasons,
and the dove, the swift and the thrush
observe the time of their migration.
But my people do not know(P)
the requirements of the Lord.
8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise,
for we have the law(Q) of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
has handled it falsely?
9 The wise(R) will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed(S) and trapped.(T)
Since they have rejected the word(U) of the Lord,
what kind of wisdom(V) do they have?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men
and their fields to new owners.(W)
From the least to the greatest,
all are greedy for gain;(X)
prophets(Y) and priests alike,
all practice deceit.(Z)
11 They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
“Peace, peace,” they say,
when there is no peace.(AA)
12 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
No, they have no shame(AB) at all;
they do not even know how to blush.
So they will fall among the fallen;
they will be brought down when they are punished,(AC)
says the Lord.(AD)
13 “‘I will take away their harvest,
declares the Lord.
There will be no grapes on the vine.(AE)
There will be no figs(AF) on the tree,
and their leaves will wither.(AG)
What I have given them
will be taken(AH) from them.[a]’”
14 Why are we sitting here?
Gather together!
Let us flee to the fortified cities(AI)
and perish there!
For the Lord our God has doomed us to perish
and given us poisoned water(AJ) to drink,
because we have sinned(AK) against him.
15 We hoped for peace(AL)
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(AM)
16 The snorting of the enemy’s horses(AN)
is heard from Dan;(AO)
at the neighing of their stallions
the whole land trembles.(AP)
They have come to devour(AQ)
the land and everything in it,
the city and all who live there.
17 “See, I will send venomous snakes(AR) among you,
vipers that cannot be charmed,(AS)
and they will bite you,”
declares the Lord.
18 You who are my Comforter[b] in sorrow,
my heart is faint(AT) within me.
19 Listen to the cry of my people
from a land far away:(AU)
“Is the Lord not in Zion?
Is her King(AV) no longer there?”
20 “The harvest is past,
the summer has ended,
and we are not saved.”

Jeremiah 8
King James Version
8 At that time, saith 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:
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 upon the face of the earth.
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 whither I have driven them, saith the Lord of hosts.
4 Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6 I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth 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.
8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?
10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, 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, saith the Lord.
13 I will surely consume them, saith 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.
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
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.
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the Lord.
18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
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?
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on 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?
