Jeremiah 9:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And a man shall mock his brother, and they will not speak the truth: for they have taught their tongue to speak lies: they have laboured to commit iniquity.

⁶ Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit: Through deceit they have refused to know me, saith the Lord.

⁷ Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will melt, and try them: for what else shall I do before the daughter of my people?
