New King James Version
Jeremiah 9:7-9
New King James Version
7 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Behold, (A)I will refine them and [a]try them;
(B)For how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?
8 Their tongue is an arrow shot out;
It speaks (C)deceit;
One speaks (D)peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
But [b]in his heart he [c]lies in wait.
9 (E)Shall I not punish them for these things?” says the Lord.
“Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”

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?”
