Jeremiah 9:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 And they bend their tongues like their bows for [a]lies: but they have no courage for the truth upon the earth, for they proceed from evil to worse, and they have not known me, saith the Lord.
4 Let everyone take heed of his neighbor, and trust you not in any [b]brother: for every brother will use deceit, and every friend will deal deceitfully,
5 And everyone will deceive his friend, and will not speak the truth: for they [c]have taught their tongue to speak lies, and take great pains to do wickedly.
