Jeremiah 9:1-3

English Standard Version

9 ^{[a] (A)}Oh that my head were waters,
    and my eyes a fountain of tears,
that I might weep day and night
    for the slain of ^(B)the daughter of my people!
^2 [b] Oh that I had in the desert
    a travelers' lodging place,
that I might leave my people
    and go away from them!
For they are all ^(C)adulterers,
    a company of ^(D)treacherous men.
^3 (E)They bend their tongue like a bow;
    falsehood and not truth has grown strong^[c] in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
    ^(F)and they do not know me, declares the Lord.
