Jeremiah 9:2-6
English Standard Version
2 [a] Oh that I had in the desert
a travelers' lodging place,
that I might leave my people
and go away from them!
For they are all (A)adulterers,
a company of (B)treacherous men.
3 (C)They bend their tongue like a bow;
falsehood and not truth has grown strong[b] in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
(D)and they do not know me, declares the Lord.
4 (E)Let everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every (F)brother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor (G)goes about as a slanderer.
5 Everyone deceives his neighbor,
and no one speaks the truth;
they have taught their tongue to speak lies;
they weary themselves committing iniquity.
6 Heaping oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit,
(H)they refuse to know me, declares the Lord.
