Jeremiah 9:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ “They ^(A)bend their tongue like their bow;
Lies and not truth prevail in the land;
For they ^(B)proceed from evil to evil,
And they ^(C)do not know Me,” declares the Lord.
⁴ “Let everyone ^(D)be on guard against his neighbor,
And ^(E)do not trust any brother;
Because every ^(F)brother deals ^[a]craftily,
And every neighbor ^(G)goes about as a slanderer.
⁵ “Everyone ^(H)deceives his neighbor
And does not speak the truth,
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They ^(I)weary themselves committing iniquity.
