Jeremiah 9:7-9
English Standard Version Anglicised
7 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Behold, (A)I will refine them and (B)test them,
for what else can I do, (C)because of my people?
8 (D)Their tongue is a deadly arrow;
(E)it speaks deceitfully;
with his mouth (F)each speaks peace to his neighbour,
but in his heart (G)he plans an ambush for him.
9 (H)Shall I not punish them for these things? declares the Lord,
and shall I not avenge myself
on a nation such as this?
Jeremiah 9:7-9
New International Version
7 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says:
“See, I will refine(A) and test(B) them,
for what else can I do
because of the sin of my people?
8 Their tongue(C) is a deadly arrow;
it speaks deceitfully.
With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors,(D)
but in their hearts they set traps(E) for them.(F)
9 Should I not punish them for this?”
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(G) myself
on such a nation as this?”
