Jeremiah 9:2-9

2If onlyH4310 H5414 I had a traveler’sH732 lodgeH4411 in the wildernessH4057, I would abandonH5800 my peopleH5971 and departH1980 from themH854, forH3588 they are allH3605 adulterersH5003, a crowdH6116 of faithless peopleH898.

3“They bendH1869 their tonguesH3956 like bowsH7198;liesH8267 prevailH1396 overH3808 truthH530 in the landH776.ForH3588 they proceedH3318 from evilH7451 toH413 evilH7451,and they do notH3808 take Me into accountH3045,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.4“Let everyoneH376 guardH8104 againstH5921 his neighborH7453;do notH408 trustH982 anyH3605 brotherH251,forH3588 everyH3605 brotherH251 deals craftilyH6117,and everyH3605 friendH7453 spreadsH1980 slanderH7400.5Each oneH376 betraysH2048 his friendH7453;noH3808 one tellsH1696 the truthH571.They have taughtH3925 their tonguesH3956 to lieH1696 H8267;they wear themselves outH3811 committing iniquityH5753.6You dwellH3427 1 in the midstH8432 of deceptionH4820;in their deceitH4820 they refuseH3985 to knowH3045 MeH853,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.

7ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559:

“BeholdH2005, I will refine themH6884 and test themH974,forH3588 whatH349 else can I doH6213because ofH6440 2 the daughterH1323 of My peopleH5971?8Their tonguesH3956 are deadlyH7819 arrowsH2671;they speakH1696 deceptionH4820.With his mouthH6310 a man speaksH1696 peaceH7965 toH854 his neighborH7453,but in his heartH7130 he setsH7760 a trap for himH696.9Should I notH3808 punishH6485 them forH5921 these thingsH428?declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.Should I notH3808 avengeH5358 MyselfH5315onH518 such a nationH1471 as thisH2088?”
