Jeremiah 9:6-9
New International Version
6 You[a] live in the midst of deception;(A)
in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,”
declares the Lord.
7 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says:
“See, I will refine(B) and test(C) them,
for what else can I do
because of the sin of my people?
8 Their tongue(D) is a deadly arrow;
it speaks deceitfully.
With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors,(E)
but in their hearts they set traps(F) for them.(G)
9 Should I not punish them for this?”
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(H) myself
on such a nation as this?”
