Jeremiah 9:1–6
†Oh athat my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears,
That I might weep day and night for the slain of bthe daughter of my people!
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of bbwayfaring men;
That I might leave my people, and go from them!
For cthey be all adulterers, dan assembly of etreacherous men.
3 And fthey bend their tongues like their bow for lies:
But gthey are not valiant for hthe truth upon the earth;
For they proceed from evil to evil,
And hithey know not me, saith the Lord.
4 kTake ye heed every one of his ||neighbour,
And ktrust ye not in any brother:
For every brother lwill utterly supplant,
And every neighbour mwill walk with slanders.
5 And they will ||deceive every one his neighbour,
And will not speak the truth:
They have taught their tongue to speak lies,
And weary themselves nto commit iniquity.
6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit;
oThrough deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord.
