Jeremiah 9:2-9
New King James Version
2 Oh, that I had in the wilderness
A lodging place for travelers;
That I might leave my people,
And go from them!
For (A)they are all adulterers,
An assembly of treacherous men.
3 “And like their bow (B)they have bent their tongues for lies.
They are not valiant for the truth on the earth.
For they proceed from (C)evil to evil,
And they (D)do not know Me,” says the Lord.
4 “Everyone(E) take heed to his [a]neighbor,
And do not trust any brother;
For every brother will utterly supplant,
And every neighbor will (F)walk with slanderers.
5 Everyone will (G)deceive his neighbor,
And will not speak the truth;
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
6 Your dwelling place is in the midst of deceit;
Through deceit they refuse to know Me,” says the Lord.
7 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Behold, (H)I will refine them and [b]try them;
(I)For how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?
8 Their tongue is an arrow shot out;
It speaks (J)deceit;
One speaks (K)peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
But [c]in his heart he [d]lies in wait.
9 (L)Shall I not punish them for these things?” says the Lord.
“Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”

In that you have forsaken the Lord your God
When (B)He led you in the way?
18 And now why take (C)the road to Egypt,
To drink the waters of (D)Sihor?
Or why take the road to (E)Assyria,
To drink the waters of [a]the River?
19 Your own wickedness will (F)correct you,
And your backslidings will rebuke you.
Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing
That you have forsaken the Lord your God,
And the [b]fear of Me is not in you,”
Says the Lord God of hosts.
