Jeremiah 9:7-9

New King James Version

“Behold, ^(A)I will refine them and ^[a]try them;
^(B)For how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?
⁸ Their tongue is an arrow shot out;
It speaks ^(C)deceit;
One speaks ^(D)peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
But ^[b]in his heart he ^[c]lies in wait.
^9 (E)Shall I not punish them for these things?” says the Lord.
“Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”
