^2 [a]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)
a solemn assembly of treacherous people.^(B)

⁴ All of them commit adultery;^(A)
they are like an oven heated by a baker
who stops stirring the fire
from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
