And I said, O, that I had wings as [those] of a dove! Then would I fly away, and be at rest.

I waited for Him that would deliver me from my distressed spirit, and from the tempest.

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have dwelled among the tents of Kedar.

I was peaceable among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.

Alas for me! For I have become as one gathering straw in harvest, and as [one gathering] grape-gleanings in the vintage, when there is no cluster for me to eat the first-ripe fruit: alas my soul!

They prepare their hands for mischief, the prince asks a [reward], and the judge speaks flattering words; it is the desire of their soul;

Trust not in friends, and confide not in guides: beware of your wife, so as not to commit anything to her.

But I will look to the Lord; I will wait upon God my Savior: my God will hearken to me.

In what [way] shall I forgive you for these things? Your sons have forsaken Me, and sworn by them that are not gods. And I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and lodged in harlots' houses.

They became as wanton horses- each one neighed after his neighbor's wife.

For because of these things the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up; and their course has become evil, and so [also] their strength.

In you they have uncovered the father's shame; and in you they have humbled her that was set apart for uncleanness.

They have dealt unlawfully each one with his neighbor's wife; and each one in ungodliness has defiled his daughter-in-law: and in you they have humbled each one his sister, the daughter of his father.

Cursing, and lying, and murder, and theft, and adultery bound in the land, and they mingle blood with blood.

They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.

Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world is constituted an enemy of God.

Righteous are You, O Lord, that I may make my defense to You: yet I will speak to You [of] judgments. Why [is it] that the way of the ungodly prospers? [And] all that deal very treacherously are flourishing?

For even your brothers and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; and they have cried out, they are gathered together in pursuit of you. Do not trust in them, though they shall speak fair [words] to you.

For they have forsaken the Lord; for strange children have been born to them: now shall the cankerworm devour them and their heritage.

But they are as a man transgressing a covenant.

For the godly has perished from the earth; and there is none upright among men: they all quarrel even to blood: they grievously afflict everyone his neighbor.

therefore I will take away their goods as a devouring moth, and as one who acts by a [rigid] rule in a day of visitation. Woe, woe, your times of vengeance have come; now shall be their lamentations.

Her prophets are insolent and scornful men: her priests profane the holy things, and sinfully transgress the law.

Judah has been forsaken, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holy things of the Lord, which He delighted in, and has gone after other gods.
