Jeremiah 9:2

Lament Over Judah

¹ O Who will give my head water enough, and a well of tears for mine eyes, that I may weep night and day for the slaughter of my people? ² Would God that I had a cottage somewhere far from folk, that I might leave my people, and go from them: for they be all adulterers and a shrinking sort. ³ They bend their tongues like bows, to shoot out lies: As for the truth, they may nothing away with all in the world. For they go from one wickedness to another, and hold nothing of me, sayeth the LORD.
