Jeremiah 9:1-3 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. If my head were a spring of water,my eyes a fountain of tears,I would weep day and night over the slain of my dear people.

2. If only I had a traveler’s lodging placein the wilderness, I would abandon my peopleand depart from them,for they are all adulterers, a solemn assembly of treacherous people.

3. They bent their tongues like their bows;lies and not faithfulness prevail in the land,for they proceed from one evil to another,and they do not take Me into account. This is the Lord’s declaration.
