Jeremiah 9:5-7

Complete Jewish Bible

^5 (6) “You inhabit a world of deceit;
deceitfully they refuse to know me,”

says Adonai.

^6 (7) “Therefore,” says Adonai-Tzva’ot,
“I will refine them and test them.
What else can I do with the daughter of my people?
^7 (8) Their tongues are sharpened arrows;
with their mouths they speak deceit —
they say nice words to their neighbors,
while inwardly plotting against them.
