⁶ And I say, “O that I had wings like a dove!
    I would fly away and be at rest;^(A)

⁷ truly, I would flee far away;
    I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah

⁸ They were well-fed lusty stallions,
    each neighing for his neighbor’s wife.^(A)

¹¹ For the house of Israel and the house of Judah
    have been utterly faithless to me,
            says the Lord.^(A)

12 You will be in the right, O Lord,
    when I lay charges against you,
    but let me put my case to you.
Why does the way of the guilty prosper?
    Why do all who are treacherous thrive?^(A)

⁶ For even your kinsfolk and your own family,
    even they have dealt treacherously with you;
    they are in full cry after you;
do not believe them,
    though they speak friendly words to you.^(A)
