Jeremiah 9:7-9

World English Bible

“Behold, I will melt them and test them;
    for how should I deal with the daughter of my people?
⁸ Their tongue is a deadly arrow.
    It speaks deceit.
One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
    but in his heart, he waits to ambush him.
⁹ Shouldn’t I punish them for these things?” says Yahweh.
    “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on a nation such as this?
