Jeremiah 9:1-3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

9 ^[a] O 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!
^2 [b] 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^[c] in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
    and they do not know me, says the Lord.
