1 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! 2 Who will give me in the wilderness a lodging place for travelers, that I might leave my people and depart from them, for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous ones. 3 “And they bend their tongues like their bow in deception, and they are not mighty for the truth on the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know Me!” A declaration of YHWH. 4 “Let each man take heed of his neighbor, and in any brother not trust. For every brother does utterly supplant, and every neighbor walks in slander. 5 And each man will deceive his neighbor, and they will not speak the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak deception, and they weary themselves to commit iniquity.
