( 9: 1) I wish I had a lodging place in the desert where I could spend some time like a weary traveler. Then I would desert my people and walk away from them because they are all unfaithful to God, a congregation of people that has been disloyal to him.

惟愿我在旷野有行路人住宿之处，使我可以离开我的民出去；因他们都是行奸淫的，是行诡诈的一党。

惟愿在旷野有旅客的客栈，我好离开我的百姓而去；因他们全都行奸淫，是行诡诈的一党。

惟愿在旷野有旅客的客栈，我好离开我的百姓而去；因他们全都行奸淫，是行诡诈的一党。

真希望我在旷野有栖身之处，以便远离我的同胞，因为他们是一群不忠不贞之徒。

但愿我在旷野有一个旅客住宿的地方，好使我离开我的同胞，可以离他们而去；因为他们都是行奸淫的，是行诡诈之徒。（本节在《马索拉文本》为9:1）

惟願我在曠野有行路人住宿之處，使我可以離開我的民出去；因他們都是行姦淫的，是行詭詐的一黨。

但願我在曠野有行路人住宿的地方，使我可以放下我的人民而離開他們；因為他們都是行姦淫的、是行詭詐的一幫。

願我於野得有旅邸、則可離我民而去、以彼俱為淫亂之徒、詭詐之黨、

我民詭詐行淫、我欲去之、願遜於荒、得託足之所。

願我在曠野、得有旅邸、則我舍棄我民、離之而去、蓋彼俱為姦淫者、悉屬奸詐之黨、

Oh, that I had in the desert a lodging place for travelers, so that I might leave my people and go away from them; for they are all adulterers, a crowd of unfaithful people.

I wish I had somewhere to go in the desert where a traveler could stay! Then I could leave my people. I could get away from them. All of them commit adultery by worshiping other gods. They aren’t faithful to the Lord.

Oh that I had in the desert a travelers’ lodging place, that I might leave my people and go away from them! For they are all adulterers, a company of treacherous men.

Oh, that I could go away and forget my people and live in a travelers’ shack in the desert. For they are all adulterers— a pack of treacherous liars.

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 solemn assembly of treacherous people.

Oh that I had in the desert A travelers’ lodging place; So that I might leave my people And go away from them! For all of them are adulterers, An assembly of treacherous people.

Oh, that I had in the wilderness A lodging place for travelers; That I might leave my people, And go from them! For they are all adulterers, An assembly of treacherous men.

Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging- place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.

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 solemn assembly of treacherous people.

For the land is full of people unfaithful to him. They live wicked lives and they misuse their power. So the land is dried up because it is under his curse. The pastures in the wilderness are withered.

The LORD asked,“ How can I leave you unpunished, Jerusalem? Your people have rejected me and have worshiped gods that are not gods at all. Even though I supplied all their needs, they were like an unfaithful wife to me. They went flocking to the houses of prostitutes.They are like lusty, well-fed stallions. Each of them lusts after his neighbor’s wife.

There is only cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and adultery. They resort to violence and bloodshed.

They are all like bakers, they are like a smoldering oven; they are like a baker who does not stoke the fire until the kneaded dough is ready for baking.

As a matter of fact, even your own brothers and the members of your own family have betrayed you too. Even they have plotted to do away with you. So do not trust them even when they say kind things to you.

LORD, you have always been fair whenever I have complained to you. However, I would like to speak with you about the disposition of justice. Why are wicked people successful? Why do all dishonest people have such easy lives?

How miserable I am! For I have lived temporarily in Meshech; I have resided among the tents of Kedar.For too long I have had to reside with those who hate peace.I am committed to peace, but when I speak, they want to make war.

They have committed treason against the LORD, because they bore illegitimate children. Soon the new moon festival will devour them and their fields.

Judah has become disloyal, and unspeakable sins have been committed in Israel and Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned the holy things that the LORD loves and has turned to a foreign god!

At Adam they broke the covenant; Oh how they were unfaithful to me!

Adulterers, do you not know that friendship with the world means hostility toward God? So whoever decides to be the world’s friend makes himself God’s enemy.

I am depressed! Indeed, it is as if the summer fruit has been gathered, and the grapes have been harvested. There is no grape cluster to eat, no fresh figs that I crave so much.Faithful men have disappeared from the land; there are no godly men left. They all wait in ambush so they can shed blood; they hunt their own brother with a net.They are determined to be experts at doing evil; government officials and judges take bribes, prominent men make demands, and they all do what is necessary to satisfy them.The best of them is like a thorn; the most godly among them are more dangerous than a row of thorn bushes. The day you try to avoid by posting watchmen– your appointed time of punishment– is on the way, and then you will experience confusion.Do not rely on a friend; do not trust a companion! Don’t even share secrets with the one who lies in your arms!For a son thinks his father is a fool, a daughter challenges her mother, and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are his own servants.But I will keep watching for the LORD; I will wait for the God who delivers me. My God will hear my lament.

Her prophets are proud; they are deceitful men. Her priests defile what is holy; they break God’s laws.

I say,“ I wish I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and settle in a safe place!Look, I will escape to a distant place; I will stay in the wilderness.( Selah)I will hurry off to a place that is safe from the strong wind and the gale.”

They have sex with their father’s wife within you; they violate women during their menstrual period within you.One commits an abominable act with his neighbor’s wife; another obscenely defiles his daughter-in-law; another violates his sister– his father’s daughter– within you.
