I wish I had a lodging place in the desert where I could spend some time like a weary traveler. Then I would desert my people and walk away from them because they are all unfaithful to God, a congregation of people that has been disloyal to him.

Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
