Jeremiah 9:2
Oh that I had in the wilderness
A lodging place (a mere shelter) for wayfaring men,
That I might leave my people
And go away from them!
For they are all adulterers [worshiping idols instead of the Lord],
[They are] an assembly of treacherous men [of weak character, men without integrity].
Jeremiah 5:7-8
“Why should I [overlook these offenses and] forgive you?
Your children have abandoned (rejected) Me

They committed [spiritual] adultery,
Assembling in troops at the houses of prostitutes (idols).
Jeremiah 23:10
For the land is full of adulterers (unfaithful to God);
The land mourns because of the curse [of God upon it].
The pastures of the wilderness have dried up.
The course of action [of the false prophets] is evil and they rush into wickedness;
And their power is not right.
Hosea 4:2
There is [false] swearing of oaths, deception (broken faith), murder, stealing, and adultery;

Even they have dealt treacherously (unfaithfully) with you;
Indeed they are [like a pack of hounds] howling after you.
Do not believe them, although they may say kind words and promise you good things.”

Like the heat of an oven
When the baker ceases to stir the fire, [their passion smolders]
From the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.

But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant;
There they have dealt treacherously against Me.
The godly person [who is faithful and loyal to God] has perished from the earth,
And there is no upright person [one with good character and moral integrity] among men.
They all lie in wait to shed blood;
Each hunts the other with a net.
Her prophets are reckless and treacherous men;
Her priests have profaned the sanctuary;
They have done violence to the law [by pretending their word is God’s word].

I would lodge in the [peace of the] wilderness. Selah.
They make the king glad with their wickedness,
And the princes with their lies.
Why do You make me see iniquity,
And cause me to look on wickedness?
For destruction and violence are before me;
Strife continues and contention arises.
