Jeremiah 9:6

A Nation Characterized By Deceit

⁵ And each at his friend they mock, And truth they do not speak, They taught their tongue to speak falsehood, To commit iniquity they have laboured. ⁶ thy dwelling is in the midst of deceit, Through deceit they refused to know Me, An affirmation of Jehovah. ⁷ Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am refining them, and have tried them, For how do I do because of the daughter of My people?
