Psalm 12:2
Legacy Standard Bible
2 They (A)speak worthlessness to one another;
With a (B)flattering lip and with a double heart they speak.
Jeremiah 9:3-5
Legacy Standard Bible
3 “They (A)bend their tongue like their bow;
Lies and unfaithfulness prevail in the land,
For they (B)go onward from evil to evil,
And they (C)do not know Me,” declares Yahweh.
4 “Let everyone (D)beware of his neighbor,
And (E)do not trust any brother,
Because every (F)brother [a]surely supplants,
And every neighbor (G)goes about as a slanderer.
5 Everyone (H)deceives his neighbor
And does not speak the truth;
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They (I)weary themselves committing iniquity.

41 (A)Now it happened in the seventh month, that (B)Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed and one of the chief officers of the king, along with ten men, came to Mizpah to (C)Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. And they (D)were eating bread together there in Mizpah. 2 Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him arose and (E)struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword and (F)put to death the one (G)whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land. 3 Ishmael also struck down all the Jews who were with him, that is with Gedaliah at Mizpah, as well as the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war.
