Jeremiah 9:4-6

4“Let everyone 1be on guard against his neighbor, And 2do not trust any brother; Because every 3brother deals 4craftily, And every neighbor 5goes about as a slanderer.5Everyone 6deceives his neighbor And does not speak the truth, They have taught their tongue to speak lies; They 7weary themselves committing iniquity.6Your 8dwelling is in the midst of deceit; Through deceit they 9refuse to know Me,” declares the Lord.
