Jeremiah 9:3-8

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 lieH1696H8267; they wear themselves outH3811 committing iniquityH5753.6You dwellH34271 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 ofH64402 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.
