Jeremiah 8:21-Jeremiah 9:3 - Yahweh's Lament
21 I am sore vexed, because of the hurt of my people: I am heavy and abashed, 22 for there is no more treacle at Gilead, and there is no Physician, that can heal the hurt of my people.
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.
