Jeremiah 9:3-8
Read Jeremiah 9 in full →3“They abend their tongue like their bow;Lies and unfaithfulness prevail in the land,For they bgo onward from evil to evil,And they cdo not know Me,” declares Yahweh.4“Let everyone abeware of his neighbor,And bdo not trust any brother,Because every cbrother 1surely supplants,And every neighbor dgoes about as a slanderer.5“Everyone adeceives his neighborAnd does not speak the truth;They have taught their tongue to speak lies;They bweary themselves committing iniquity.6“Your ahabitation is in the midst of deceit;Through deceit they brefuse to know Me,” declares Yahweh.
7Therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Behold, I will refine them and atest them;For bwhat else can I do, because of the daughter of My people?
8“Their atongue is a slaughtering arrow;It speaks deceit;With his mouth one bspeaks peace to his neighbor,But inwardly he csets an ambush for him.
