Jeremiah 9:3-9
1599 Geneva Bible
3 And they bend their tongues like their bows for [a]lies: but they have no courage for the truth upon the earth, for they proceed from evil to worse, and they have not known me, saith the Lord.
4 Let everyone take heed of his neighbor, and trust you not in any [b]brother: for every brother will use deceit, and every friend will deal deceitfully,
5 And everyone will deceive his friend, and will not speak the truth: for they [c]have taught their tongue to speak lies, and take great pains to do wickedly.
6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceivers: [d]because of their deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will [e]melt them, and try them: for what should I else do for the daughter of my people?
8 Their tongue (A)is as an arrow shot out, and speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he layeth wait for him.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
