Jeremiah 9:3-8

Jeremiah 9:3-8

[3] And they bend  their tongues  like their bow  for lies:  but they are not valiant  for the truth  upon the earth;  for they proceed  from evil  and they know  not me, saith  the LORD.  [4] Take ye heed  every one  of his neighbour,  and trust  ye not in any brother:  will utterly  and every neighbour  will walk  with slanders.  [5] And they will deceive  every one  his neighbour,  and will not speak  the truth:  they have taught  their tongue  to speak  lies,  and weary  themselves to commit iniquity.  [6] Thine habitation  is in the midst  of deceit;  they refuse  to know  me, saith  the LORD.  [7] Therefore thus saith  the LORD  of hosts,  Behold, I will melt  them, and try  them; for how shall I do  for  the daughter  of my people?  [8] Their tongue  is as an arrow  shot out;  it speaketh  deceit:  one speaketh  peaceably  to his neighbour  with his mouth,  but in heart  he layeth  his wait.
