Jeremiah 9:2-6
2 ▼
▼Ch 9:1 in Heb
bOh that I had in the desert A travelers’ lodging place;
So that I might leave my people
And go away from them!
For all of them are cadulterers,
An assembly of dtreacherous people.
3 “They ebend their tongues like their bows;
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 utterly ▼
▼I.e., like Jacob (a play on words)
betrays, 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 wrongdoing.
6 “Your odwelling is in the midst of deceit;
Through deceit they prefuse to know Me,” declares the Lord.
