Jeremiah 9:1-4

LEB(i) 1 * Oh that my head were waters,* and my eyes a fountain of tears, so that I might weep day and night, for the slain of the daughter of my people. 2 Oh that I had* in the desert a place of overnight lodging for travelers, that I may leave my people and go from them, for all of them are adulterers, a band of traitors. 3 And they bend their tongue like their bow, for falsehood and not truth is superior in the land, for they go forth* from evil to evil, and they do not know me," declares* Yahweh. 4 "Let everyone be on your guard against his neighbor, and you must not trust in any brother, for everyone surely betrays, and every neighbor goes about with slander.
