1Man, I wish my head was like a waterfall, and my eyes were a whole vibe of tears, just weeping day and night for my peeps who got taken out!

2Yo, if only I had a chill spot in the wild where travelers crash; I’d dip from my crew 'cause they’re all sus, a bunch of shady peeps.

3They flex their tongues like bows for lies, but they ain't brave enough to keep it real; they just keep sliding from bad to worse, not even knowing me, says the Lord.

4Watch out for your neighbors, fam, and don’t trust any bro; every brother's out here trying to backstab, and neighbors just spreadin' gossip.

5They be tricking each other and can’t keep it 100; they’ve trained their mouths to spit lies and are just tired from doing wrong.

6Your home’s all about deceit; they straight-up ignore me, says the Lord.

7So the Lord of hosts is like, "Bet, I’m gonna melt them down and test them; what am I supposed to do for my peeps?"

8Their words are like arrows, just shooting out lies; they act all chill with their neighbors but are low-key plotting in their hearts.

9Am I not gonna check them for this stuff? says the Lord; is my soul not gonna serve some justice on a nation like this?

10I’m gonna take up the mountains with tears and crying, and for the wild places, a whole lament, 'cause they’re burned up, no one can roll through; even the animals are ghosting, they’ve dipped.

11I'ma turn Jerusalem into a whole mess, like a dragon's lair; Judah's cities gonna be ghost towns, no cap.

12Who's the wise one that can vibe with this? Who’s the one God’s talkin' to, so they can spill the tea on why the land's all burnt out and empty?

13The Lord's like, "They ditched my laws I laid out, didn’t listen to my voice, and straight up ignored the path."

14Instead, they followed their own wild thoughts and the Baal vibes their fam taught them.

15So, the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says, "I’m gonna feed them some bitter stuff and give them gall water to sip on."

16I’ll scatter them among the nations, peeps they and their fam don’t even know, and I’m sending a sword after them until they’re done for.

17The Lord of hosts says, "Yo, think about this, call the mourning queens to come through; send for the wise women to show up."

18Let them hurry up and start wailing for us, so our eyes can overflow with tears, and our eyelids can drip like crazy.

19A voice of crying is heard from Zion, "We’re totally wrecked! We’re super confused 'cause we ditched the land, and our homes kicked us out."

20But listen up, ladies, hear the word of the Lord, let your ears catch what He’s saying, teach your daughters to wail, and everyone around to lament.

21Death's creeping in through our windows, snatching kids from the crib and young dudes off the block. No cap.

22God’s like, “Yo, all the homies who kick the bucket gonna drop like trash in the fields, and no one’s picking them up.”

23The Lord's saying, “Don’t let the smart ones flex their brains, or the strong ones flex their muscles, or the rich ones flex their stacks.”

24But for real, if you wanna flex, flex on knowing me, the Lord, who’s all about that love, justice, and righteousness. That’s what I vibe with, periodt.

25Yo, the days are coming when I’m gonna serve up some consequences to all the peeps who are circumcised and the ones who aren’t.

26Egypt, Judah, Edom, the Ammonites, Moab, and everyone chilling in the corners of the wilderness: all these nations are uncircumcised, and the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in the heart.

1Oh 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!

2Oh 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.

3And 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.

4Take 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.

5And 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.

6Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord.

7Therefore 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?

8Their 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.

9Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

10For 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.

11And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.

12Who 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?

13And the Lord saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;

14But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:

15Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

16I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.

17Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:

18And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.

19For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.

20Yet hear the word of the Lord, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.

21For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.

22Speak, Thus saith the Lord, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.

23Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

24But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.

25Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;

26Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
