9:1 [hgb]  但 愿 我 的 头 为 水 ， 我 的 眼 为 泪 的 泉 源 ， 我 好 为 我 百 姓 （ 原 文 作 民 女 。 七 节 同 ） 中 被 杀 的 人 昼 夜 哭 泣 。 
    [kjv]  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!
    [bbe]  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!
9:2 [hgb]  惟 愿 我 在 旷 野 有 行 路 人 住 宿 之 处 ， 使 我 可 以 离 开 我 的 民 出 去 。 因 他 们 都 是 行 奸 淫 的 ， 是 行 诡 诈 的 一 党 。 
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  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.
9:3 [hgb]  他 们 弯 起 舌 头 像 弓 一 样 ， 为 要 说 谎 话 。 他 们 在 国 中 增 长 势 力 ， 不 是 为 行 诚 实 ， 乃 是 恶 上 加 恶 ， 并 不 认 识 我 。 这 是 耶 和 华 说 的 。 
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  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.
9:4 [hgb]  你 们 各 人 当 谨 防 邻 舍 ， 不 可 信 靠 弟 兄 。 因 为 弟 兄 尽 行 欺 骗 ， 邻 舍 都 往 来 谗 谤 人 。 
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  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.
9:5 [hgb]  他 们 各 人 欺 哄 邻 舍 ， 不 说 真 话 。 他 们 教 舌 头 学 习 说 谎 ， 劳 劳 碌 碌 地 作 孽 。 
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  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.
9:6 [hgb]  你 的 住 处 在 诡 诈 的 人 中 。 他 们 因 行 诡 诈 ， 不 肯 认 识 我 。 这 是 耶 和 华 说 的 。 
    [kjv]  Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
    [bbe]  There is wrong on wrong, deceit on deceit; they have given up the knowledge of me, says the Lord.
9:7 [hgb]  所 以 万 军 之 耶 和 华 如 此 说 ， 看 哪 ， 我 要 将 他 们 融 化 熬 炼 。 不 然 ， 我 因 我 百 姓 的 罪 该 怎 样 行 呢 ？ 
    [kjv]  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?
    [bbe]  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.
9:8 [hgb]  他 们 的 舌 头 是 毒 箭 ， 说 话 诡 诈 。 人 与 邻 舍 口 说 和 平 话 ， 心 却 谋 害 他 。 
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  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.
9:9 [hgb]  耶 和 华 说 ， 我 岂 不 因 这 些 事 讨 他 们 的 罪 呢 ？ 岂 不 报 复 这 样 的 国 民 呢 ？ 
    [kjv]  Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
    [bbe]  Am I not to send punishment for these things? says the Lord: will not my soul take payment from such a nation as this?
9:10 [hgb]  我 要 为 山 岭 哭 泣 悲 哀 ， 为 旷 野 的 草 场 扬 声 哀 号 。 因 为 都 已 干 焦 ， 甚 至 无 人 经 过 。 人 也 听 不 见 牲 畜 鸣 叫 ， 空 中 的 飞 鸟 和 地 上 的 野 兽 都 已 逃 去 。 
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  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.
9:11 [hgb]  我 必 使 耶 路 撒 冷 变 为 乱 堆 ， 为 野 狗 的 住 处 ， 也 必 使 犹 大 的 城 邑 变 为 荒 场 ， 无 人 居 住 。 
    [kjv]  And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
    [bbe]  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.
9:12 [hgb]  谁 是 智 慧 人 ， 可 以 明 白 这 事 ？ 耶 和 华 的 口 向 谁 说 过 ， 使 他 可 以 传 说 ？ 遍 地 为 何 灭 亡 ， 干 焦 好 像 旷 野 ， 甚 至 无 人 经 过 呢 ？ 
    [kjv]  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?
    [bbe]  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?
9:13 [hgb]  耶 和 华 说 ， 因 为 这 百 姓 离 弃 我 ， 在 他 们 面 前 所 设 立 的 律 法 没 有 遵 行 ， 也 没 有 听 从 我 的 话 。 
    [kjv]  And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
    [bbe]  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;
