The words “Oh that my head were waters”, and the LORD’s word “Everyone beware of his neighbor”
"어찌하면 내 머리는 물이 되고" 하는 말과 각기 이웃을 삼가라는 여호와의 말씀
Jeremiah 9:1–6: the speaker (“I”) says, “Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people! 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.” The text goes on: “They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood. They have grown strong in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me,” says the LORD. “Everyone beware of his neighbor, and don’t trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go around like a slanderer. Friends deceive each other, and will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves committing iniquity. Your habitation is in the middle of deceit. Through deceit, they refuse to know me,” says the LORD. Neither edition names the speaker of 9:1–2. The Korean Revised Version opens 9:3 with the LORD speaking (여호와께서 말씀하시되) and closes 9:6 with 나 여호와의 말이니라 하시니라, where WEB sets “says the LORD” at the end of 9:3 and of 9:6, and reads at 9:5 그들은 각기 이웃을 속이며 (they deceive each one his neighbor), where WEB reads “Friends deceive each other”.
