Jeremiah 9:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

I will now refine them with fire and test them.
What else can I do for my dear people?
⁸ Their tongues are like deadly arrows.
They speak deceitfully.
People speak politely to their neighbors,
but they think of ways to set traps for them.
⁹ I will punish them for these things, declares the Lord.
I will punish this nation.
I still won’t be satisfied.
