Jeremiah:9:3-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 to evil ,
and they know not me ,
saith the LORD .
*
Take ye heed every one of his neighbour ,
and trust ye not in any brother :
for every brother will utterly supplant ,
and every neighbour will walk with slanders .
*
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 .
*
Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit ;
through deceit they refuse to know me ,
saith the LORD .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
