Jeremiah 9:2

Context

9:2 (9:1) I wish I had a lodging place in the desert

where I could spend some time like a weary traveler. 1 

Then I would desert my people

and walk away from them

because they are all unfaithful to God,

a congregation 2  of people that has been disloyal to him. 3

[9:2]  1 tn Heb “I wish I had in the desert a lodging place [inn, or place to spend the night] for travelers.”

[9:2]  2 tn Or “bunch,” but this loses the irony; the word is used for the solemn assemblies at the religious feasts.

[9:2]  3 tn Heb “they are all adulterers, a congregation of unfaithful people.” However, spiritual adultery is, of course, meant, not literal adultery. So the literal translation would be misleading.
