Jeremiah 9:2-6
2 ▼▼ Ch 9:1 in Heb
,
bOh that I had in the desertA wayfarers’ lodging place;
That I might leave my people
And go from them!
For all of them are cadulterers,
An assembly of dtreacherous men.
3“They ebend their tongue like their bow;
Lies and not truth prevail in the land;
For they fproceed from evil to evil,
And they gdo not know Me,” declares the Lord.
4“Let everyone hbe on guard against his neighbor,
And ido not trust any brother;
Because every jbrother deals ▼
▼ I.e. like Jacob (a play on words)
craftily,And every neighbor lgoes about as a slanderer.
5“Everyone mdeceives his neighbor
And does not speak the truth,
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They nweary themselves committing iniquity.
6“Your odwelling is in the midst of deceit;
Through deceit they prefuse to know Me,” declares the Lord.
