*
Oh ,
that I had in the wilderness A lodging place for travelers ;
That I might leave my people ,
And go from them !
For they are all adulterers ,
An assembly of treacherous men .
* "
And like their bow they have bent their tongues for lies .
They are not valiant for the truth on the earth .
For they proceed from evil to evil ,
And they do not know Me ,"
says the LORD .
* "
Everyone take heed to his neighbor ,
And do not trust any brother ;
For every brother will utterly supplant ,
And every neighbor will walk with slanderers .
*
Everyone will deceive his neighbor ,
And will not speak the truth ;
They have taught their tongue to speak lies ;
They weary themselves to commit iniquity .
*
Your dwelling place is in the midst of deceit ;
Through deceit they refuse to know Me ,"
says the LORD .
*
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts : "
Behold ,
I will refine them and try them ;
For how shall I deal with the daughter of My people ?
*
Their tongue is an arrow shot out ;
It speaks deceit ;
One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth ,
But in his heart he lies in wait .
