Jeremiah 9:7-9
New Living Translation
7 Therefore, this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:
“See, I will melt them down in a crucible
and test them like metal.
What else can I do with my people?[a]
8 For their tongues shoot lies like poisoned arrows.
They speak friendly words to their neighbors
while scheming in their heart to kill them.
9 Should I not punish them for this?” says the Lord.
“Should I not avenge myself against such a nation?”

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?”
