Jeremiah 9:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ They all deceive each other;
    no one speaks the truth.
They have trained their tongues in the art of lying;
    immersed in iniquity, they cannot repent.
⁶ With their repeated acts of oppression and deceit,
    they refuse to acknowledge me, says the Lord.
⁷ Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts:
    Now I will refine and test them.
    How else should I deal with this people?
