Oh, that I had in the desert(A)
    a lodging place for travelers,
so that I might leave my people
    and go away from them;
for they are all adulterers,(B)
    a crowd of unfaithful(C) people.

“They make ready their tongue
    like a bow, to shoot lies;(D)
it is not by truth
    that they triumph[a] in the land.
They go from one sin to another;
    they do not acknowledge(E) me,”
declares the Lord.
“Beware of your friends;(F)
    do not trust anyone in your clan.(G)
For every one of them is a deceiver,[b](H)
    and every friend a slanderer.(I)
Friend deceives friend,(J)
    and no one speaks the truth.(K)
They have taught their tongues to lie;(L)
    they weary themselves with sinning.
You[c] live in the midst of deception;(M)
    in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,”
declares the Lord.

Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says:

“See, I will refine(N) and test(O) them,
    for what else can I do
    because of the sin of my people?
Their tongue(P) is a deadly arrow;
    it speaks deceitfully.
With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors,(Q)
    but in their hearts they set traps(R) for them.(S)
Should I not punish them for this?”
    declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(T) myself
    on such a nation as this?”
