Psalms 12:2

2 Everyone ^autters lies to his neighbor;
with ^bflattering lips and ^ca double heart they speak.

Psalms 28:3

3 Do not ^ddrag me off with the wicked,
with the workers of evil,
^ewho speak peace with their neighbors
while evil is in their hearts.

Jeremiah 9:2-8

2 ^{▼▼Ch 9:1 in Hebrew} Oh that I had in the desert
a travelers’ lodging place,
that I might leave my people
and go away from them!
For they are all ^gadulterers,
a company of ^htreacherous men.
3 ⁱThey 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,
^kand they do not know me, declares the Lord.
4 ^lLet everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every ^mbrother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor ⁿgoes about as a slanderer.
5 Everyone deceives his neighbor,
and no one speaks the truth;
they have taught their tongue to speak lies;
they weary themselves committing iniquity.
6 Heaping oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit,
^othey refuse to know me, declares the Lord.
7 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Behold, ^pI will refine them and ^qtest them,
for what else can I do, ^rbecause of my people?
8 ^sTheir tongue is a deadly arrow;
^tit speaks deceitfully;
with his mouth ^ueach speaks peace to his neighbor,
but in his heart ^vhe plans an ambush for him.

Micah 7:5

5 ^wPut no trust in a neighbor;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard ^xthe doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms; ^{▼▼Hebrew bosom}
