Jeremiah 9:2-9
2If only I had a traveler’s lodge in the wilderness, I would abandon my people and depart from them, for they are all adulterers, a crowd of faithless people.
3“They bend their tongues like bows;lies prevail over truth in the land.For they proceed from evil to evil,and they do not take Me into account,”declares the LORD.4“Let everyone guard against his neighbor;do not trust any brother,for every brother deals craftily,and every friend spreads slander.5Each one betrays his friend;no one tells the truth.They have taught their tongues to lie;they wear themselves out committing iniquity.6You dwell1 in the midst of deception;in their deceit they refuse to know Me,”declares the LORD.
7Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says:
“Behold, I will refine them and test them,for what else can I dobecause of2 the daughter of My people?8Their tongues are deadly arrows;they speak deception.With his mouth a man speaks peace to his neighbor,but in his heart he sets a trap for him.9Should I not punish them for these things?declares the LORD.Should I not avenge Myselfon such a nation as this?”
