Jeremiah 9:1-3
Names of God Bible
9 [a]“I wish that my head were filled with water
and my eyes were a fountain of tears
so that I could cry day and night
for my dear people who have been killed.
2 I wish I had a place to stay in the desert.
I would abandon my people and go away from them.
They are all adulterers,
a mob of traitors.
3 They use their tongues like bows that shoot arrows.
Lies and dishonesty rule the land.[b]
They go from one evil thing to another,
and they don’t know me,” declares Yahweh.
