Jeremiah 8:21-Jeremiah 9:3 - Yahweh's Lament
21 "Because of the wound of the daughter of my people I am broken down, I mourn, horror has seized me. 22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no healer there? Why, then, has the healing of the daughter of my people not been restored?
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.
