11aOh that my head were waters

And my eyes a fountain of tears,

That I might weep day and night

For the slain of the bdaughter of my people!

21aOh that I had in the desert

A travelers’ lodging place,

That I might leave my people

And go from them!

For all of them are badulterers,

A solemn assembly of ctreacherous men.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

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

a company of treacherous men.

Oh, that my head were a spring of water

and my eyes a fountain of tears!

I would weep day and night

for the slain of my people.

Oh, that I had in the desert

a lodging place for travelers,

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

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!

Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men;

That I might leave my people, and go from them!

For they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
