Jeremiah 9:8-10
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

8 Their tongue is a murderous arrow; it speaks deceitfully; one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lays snares and waits in ambush for him.

9 Shall I not punish them for these things? says the Lord. Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?

10 For the mountains I will take up a weeping and wailing and for the pastures of the wilderness a lament, because they are burned up and desolated, so that no one passes through [them]; neither can men hear [any longer] the lowing of cattle. Both the fowls of the air and the beasts have fled, they are gone!

Jeremiah 9:8-10
New International Version

8 Their tongue(A) is a deadly arrow;
    it speaks deceitfully.
With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors,(B)
    but in their hearts they set traps(C) for them.(D)
9 Should I not punish them for this?”
    declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(E) myself
    on such a nation as this?”

10 I will weep and wail for the mountains
    and take up a lament concerning the wilderness grasslands.(F)
They are desolate and untraveled,
    and the lowing of cattle is not heard.
The birds(G) have all fled
    and the animals are gone.
