Jeremiah 9:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will melt, and try them: for what else shall I do before the daughter of my people?

⁸ Their tongue is a piercing arrow, it hath spoken deceit: with his mouth one speaketh peace with his friend, and secretly he lieth in wait for him.

⁹ Shall I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul be revenged on such a nation?
