A LAMENTATION OVER SIYON
Oh that it be, that my head be as waters; and my eyes as a fountain of tears; and I weep day and night for the pierced of the daughter of my people! 2 Oh that it be, that I be in the wilderness as a lodging place of caravans; and I forsake my people and go from them; for they all adultererize - a private assembly who deals covertly: 3 and they bend their tongues as their bow for falsehood: and as for trustworthiness, they prevail not mightily on the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil and they know me not - an oracle of Yah Veh. 4 On guard, every man, of his friend and confide not in any brother: for in tripping the heel every brother trips the heel; and every friend walks with talebearers: 5 and every man mocks his friend and words not the truth: they teach their tongue to word falsehoods and weary themselves to pervert. 6 You settle midst deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me - an oracle of Yah Veh.
