1. Oh that my head were waters,and my eyes a spring of tears,that I might weep day and nightfor the slain of the daughter of my people!
2. Oh that I had in the wildernessa lodging place of wayfaring men;that I might leave my people,and go from them!For they are all adulterers,an assembly of treacherous men.
3. “They bend their tongue,as their bow, for falsehood.They have grown strong in the land,but not for truth;for they proceed from evil to evil,and they don’t know me,” says the Lord.
4. “Everyone beware of his neighbour,and don’t trust in any brother;for every brother will utterly supplant,and every neighbour will go around with slanders.
5. Everyone will deceive their neighbours,and will not speak the truth.They have taught their tongue to speak lies.They weary themselves commiting iniquity.
