Jeremiah 9:3-5

New Century Version

³ “They use their tongues like a bow,
    shooting lies from their mouths like arrows.
Lies, not truth,
    have grown strong in the land.
They go from one evil thing to another.
    They do not know who I am,” says the Lord.
⁴ “Watch out for your friends,
    and don’t trust your own relatives,
because every relative is a cheater,
    and every friend tells lies about you.
⁵ Everyone lies to his friend,
    and no one speaks the truth.
The people of Judah have taught their tongues to lie.
    They have become tired from sinning.
