Jeremiah 9:1-3

New American Standard Bible 1995

9 ^[a](A)Oh that my head were waters
And my eyes a fountain of tears,
That I might weep day and night
For the slain of the ^(B)daughter of my people!
^2 [b](C)Oh that I had in the desert
A wayfarers’ lodging place;
That I might leave my people
And go from them!
For all of them are ^(D)adulterers,
An assembly of ^(E)treacherous men.
³ “They ^(F)bend their tongue like their bow;
Lies and not truth prevail in the land;
For they ^(G)proceed from evil to evil,
And they ^(H)do not know Me,” declares the Lord.
