1“I wish that my head were ⸤filled with⸥ water
and my eyes were a fountain of tears
so that I could cry day and night
for my dear people who have been killed.
2I wish I had a place to stay in the desert.
I would abandon my people and go away from them.
They are all adulterers,
a mob of traitors.

Oh that my head were waters,
and my eyes a fountain of tears,
that I might weep day and night
for the slain of the daughter of my people!
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 adulterers,
a company of treacherous men.

Oh, that my head were a spring of water
and my eyes a fountain of tears!

so that I might leave my people
and go away from them;
for they are all adulterers,
a crowd of unfaithful people.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
If my head were a flowing spring,
my eyes a fountain of tears,
I would weep day and night
over the slain of my dear people.
If only I had a traveler’s lodging place
in the wilderness,
I would abandon my people
and depart from them,
for they are all adulterers,
a solemn assembly of treacherous people.

NLTNew Living Translation
If only my head were a pool of water
and my eyes a fountain of tears,
I would weep day and night
for all my people who have been slaughtered.
Oh, that I could go away and forget my people
and live in a travelers’ shack in the desert.
For they are all adulterers—
a pack of treacherous liars.

Oh that my head were waters,
and my eyes a fountain of tears,
so that I might weep day and night,
for the slain of the daughter of my people.
Oh that I had in the desert a place of overnight lodging for travelers,
that I may leave my people and go from them,
for all of them are adulterers,
a band of traitors.

Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears,
That I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!

That I might leave my people, and go from them!
For they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
