Jeremiah 9:7-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 Therefore, this is what the Lord of Hosts says:
I am about to refine them and test them,(A)
for what else can I do
because of My dear[a] people?[b]
8 Their tongues are deadly arrows—
they speak deception.(B)
With his mouth
a man speaks peaceably with his friend,
but inwardly he sets up an ambush.
9 Should I not punish them for these things?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Should I not avenge Myself(C)
on such a nation as this?
