Jeremiah 9:2-4

Revised Standard Version

^2 [a] O that I had in the desert
    a wayfarers’ lodging place,
that I might leave my people
    and go away from them!
For they are all adulterers,
    a company of treacherous men.
³ They bend their tongue like a bow;
    falsehood and not truth has grown strong^[b] in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
    and they do not know me, says the Lord.
