Jeremiah 9:3-8
3“They 1bendH1869 their tongueH3956 like their bowH7198; LiesH8267 and not truthH530 prevailH1396 in the landH776; For they 2proceedH3318 from evilH7463 to evilH7463, And they 3do not knowH3045 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.4“Let everyoneH376 4be on guardH8104 againstH4480 his neighborH7453, And 5do not trustH982 anyH3605 brotherH251; BecauseH3588 everyH3605 6brotherH251 dealsH6117 7craftilyH6117, And everyH3605 neighborH7453 8goesH1980 about as a slandererH7400.5EveryoneH376 9deceivesH8524 his neighborH7453 And does not speakH1696 the truthH571, They have taughtH3925 their tongueH3956 to speakH1696 liesH8267; They 10wearyH3811 themselves committingH5753 iniquityH5753.6Your 11dwellingH3427 is in the midstH8432 of deceitH4820; Through deceitH4820 they 12refuseH3985 to knowH3045 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
7ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “BeholdH2009, I will refineH6884 them and 13assayH974 them; For 14whatH349 else can I doH6213, becauseH4480H6440 of the daughterH1323 of My peopleH5971?8Their 15tongueH3956 is a deadlyH7819 arrowH2671; It speaksH1696 deceitH4820; With his mouthH6310 one 16speaksH1696 peaceH7965 to his neighborH7453, But inwardlyH7130 he 17setsH7760 an ambushH696 for him.
