Jeremiah 9:2-9
2Oh thatH5414 I had in the wildernessH4057 a lodging placeH4411 of wayfaring menH732; that I might leaveH5800 my peopleH5971, and goH3212 from them! for they be all adulterersH5003, an assemblyH6116 of treacherous menH898. 3And they bendH1869 their tonguesH3956 like their bowH7198 for liesH8267: but they are not valiantH1396 for the truthH530 upon the earthH776; for they proceedH3318 from evilH7451 to evilH7451, and they knowH3045 not me, saithH5002 YhwhH3068. 4Take ye heedH8104 every oneH376 of his neighbourH7453, and trustH982 ye not in any brotherH251: for every brotherH251 will utterlyH6117 supplantH6117, and every neighbourH7453 will walkH1980 with slandersH7400.1 5And they will deceiveH2048 every oneH376 his neighbourH7453, and will not speakH1696 the truthH571: they have taughtH3925 their tongueH3956 to speakH1696 liesH8267, and wearyH3811 themselves to commit iniquityH5753.2 6Thine habitationH3427 is in the midstH8432 of deceitH4820; through deceitH4820 they refuseH3985 to knowH3045 me, saithH5002 YhwhH3068. 7Therefore thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, Behold, I will meltH6884 them, and tryH974 them; for how shall I doH6213 forH6440 the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971? 8Their tongueH3956 is as an arrowH2671 shot outH7819; it speakethH1696 deceitH4820: one speakethH1696 peaceablyH7965 to his neighbourH7453 with his mouthH6310, but in heartH7130 he layethH7760 his waitH696.34
9Shall I not visitH6485 them for these things? saithH5002 YhwhH3068: shall not my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on such a nationH1471 as this?
