but ia lying tongue is but for a moment.

Jeremiah 9:3-5

3 jThey bend their tongue like a bow;
falsehood and not truth has grown strong
Septuagint; Hebrew  and not for truth they have grown strong
in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
land they do not know me, declares the Lord.
4 mLet everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every nbrother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor ogoes about as a slanderer.
5Everyone deceives his neighbor,
and no one speaks the truth;
they have taught their tongue to speak lies;
they weary themselves committing iniquity.

Hosea 4:1-2

for qthe Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land.

and rno knowledge of God in the land;
2 sthere is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery;
they break all bounds, and tbloodshed follows bloodshed.
