2 aOh 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.
3 “They abend their tongue like their bow;
Lies and unfaithfulness prevail in the land,
For they bgo onward from evil to evil,
And they cdo not know Me,” declares Yahweh.
4 “Let everyone abeware of his neighbor,
And bdo not trust any brother,
Because every cbrother surely supplants,
And every neighbor dgoes about as a slanderer.
5 Everyone adeceives his neighbor
And does not speak the truth;
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They bweary themselves committing iniquity.
6 Your ahabitation is in the midst of deceit;
Through deceit they brefuse to know Me,” declares Yahweh.
