1 Oh, that my head were watersand my eyes a fountain of tears,that I might weep day and nightfor the slain of the daughter of my people!
2 Oh, that I had in the wildernessa lodging place of wayfaring men,that I might leave my peopleand go from them!For they all are adulterers,an assembly of treacherous men.
3 They bend their tongues like their bow;lies and not truth prevail upon the land;for they proceed from evil to evil,and they do not know Me,says the Lord.
4 Let everyone be on guard against his neighbor,and do not trust in any brother;for every brother supplants,and every neighbor walks about with slanders.
