Jeremiah 9:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² Would that I could find in the desert
    a wayside shelter for travelers
so that I might depart from my people
    and leave them far behind.
For all of them are adulterers,
    a faithless mob of traitors.
³ Their tongues are like devious weapons,
    bent like a drawn bow.
With falsehood rather than truth
    they have gained power in the land.
They commit one crime after another,
    but they do not acknowledge me, says the Lord.
⁴ Each of you should be on guard against your neighbor
    and place no trust in a brother.
For everyone seeks to supplant his brother, as Jacob did,
    and every friend is a slanderer.
