³ “They ^(A)bend their tongue like their bow;
Lies and unfaithfulness prevail in the land,
For they ^(B)go onward from evil to evil,
And they ^(C)do not know Me,” declares Yahweh.
⁴ “Let everyone ^(D)beware of his neighbor,
And ^(E)do not trust any brother,
Because every ^(F)brother ^[a]surely supplants,
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.
