Jeremiah 6:9

Jeremiah 6:9 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

9This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Let them glean the remnant of Israel

as thoroughly as a vine;

pass your hand over the branches again,

like one gathering grapes.”

9¶This is what the Lord of armies says:

“They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like the vine;

Pass your hand over the branches again

Like a grape gatherer.”

9Thus says the Lord of hosts,

“They will thoroughly glean as the vine the remnant of Israel;

Pass your hand again like a grape gatherer

Over the branches.”

9¶Thus says the Lord of hosts,

“They will thoroughly gather like [fruit on] a vine what is left of Israel;

Pass your hand [over the vine] again and again [Babylon, tool of destruction] like a grape gatherer,

Over the branches [stripping the tendrils off the vine].”

9This is what the Lord of Hosts says:

“Glean the remnant of Israel

as thoroughly as a vine.

Pass your hand once more like a grape gatherer

over the branches.”

9The Lord rules over all. He says to me,

“People gather the few grapes left on a vine.

So let Israel’s enemies gather the few people left alive in the land

Look carefully at the branches again.

Do this like someone who gathers the last few grapes.”
