³ “And like their bow ^(A)they have bent their tongues for lies.
They are not valiant for the truth on the earth.
For they proceed from ^(B)evil to evil,
And they ^(C)do not know Me,” says the Lord.
⁴ “Everyone^(D) take heed to his ^[a]neighbor,
And do not trust any brother;
For every brother will utterly supplant,
And every neighbor will ^(E)walk with slanderers.
⁵ Everyone will ^(F)deceive his neighbor,
And will not speak the truth;
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They weary themselves to commit iniquity.

²² “For My people are foolish,
They have not known Me.
They are ^[a]silly children,
And they have no understanding.
^(A)They are wise to do evil,
But to do good they have no knowledge.”
