Jeremiah 9:1-2

New International Reader's Version

9 I wish my head were a spring of water!
    I wish my eyes were a fountain of tears!
I would weep day and night
    for my people who have been killed.
² I wish I had somewhere to go in the desert
    where a traveler could stay!
Then I could leave my people.
    I could get away from them.
All of them commit adultery by worshiping other gods.
    They aren’t faithful to the Lord.
