Jeremiah 9:2-9

212OhH4310 that I hadH5414 in the desertH4057 A wayfarers’H732 lodgingH4411 placeH4411; That I might leaveH5800 my peopleH5971 And goH1980 from them! For allH3605 of them are 3adulterersH5003, An assemblyH6116 of 4treacherousH898 men.3“They 5bendH1869 their tongueH3956 like their bowH7198; LiesH8267 and not truthH530 prevailH1396 in the landH776; For they 6proceedH3318 from evilH7463 to evilH7463, And they 7do not knowH3045 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.4“Let everyoneH376 8be on guardH8104 againstH4480 his neighborH7453, And 9do not trustH982 anyH3605 brotherH251; BecauseH3588 everyH3605 10brotherH251 dealsH6117 11craftilyH6117, And everyH3605 neighborH7453 12goesH1980 about as a slandererH7400.5EveryoneH376 13deceivesH8524 his neighborH7453 And does not speakH1696 the truthH571, They have taughtH3925 their tongueH3956 to speakH1696 liesH8267; They 14wearyH3811 themselves committingH5753 iniquityH5753.6Your 15dwellingH3427 is in the midstH8432 of deceitH4820; Through deceitH4820 they 16refuseH3985 to knowH3045 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

7ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “BeholdH2009, I will refineH6884 them and 17assayH974 them; For 18whatH349 else can I doH6213, becauseH4480H6440 of the daughterH1323 of My peopleH5971?8Their 19tongueH3956 is a deadlyH7819 arrowH2671; It speaksH1696 deceitH4820; With his mouthH6310 one 20speaksH1696 peaceH7965 to his neighborH7453, But inwardlyH7130 he 21setsH7760 an ambushH696 for him.922Shall I not punishH6485 them for theseH428 thingsH428?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “On a nationH1471 suchH834 as thisH2088 Shall I not avengeH5358 MyselfH5315?
