Jeremiah 8:21-9:1

Tree of Life Version

²¹ “Because of the brokenness of the daughter of my people,
        I am brokenhearted.
    I mourn—desolation grips me.
²² Is there no balm in Gilead?
    Is there no physician there?
    Then why has no healing gone up
        for the daughter of my people?
²³ If only my head were water
        and my eyes a fountain of tears,
    then I would weep day and night
        for the slain of the daughter of my people!
9 If only I had a travelers’ lodging place
        in the wilderness,
    then I might leave my people
        and get away from them!
    For they are all adulterers,
        a bunch of traitors.
