   prophet JEREMIAS   
      
   chapter 9   
      
   3 And they have bent their tongue, as a bow, for lies, and not for   
   truth: they have strengthened themselves upon the earth, for they have   
   proceeded from evil to evil, and me they have not known, saith the Lord.   
   4 Let every man take heed of his neighbour, and let his not trust in any   
   brother of his: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every   
   friend will walk deceitfully. 5 And a man shall mock his brother, and   
   they will not speak the truth: for they have taught their tongue to   
   speak lies: they have laboured to commit iniquity. 6 Thy habitation is   
   in the midst of deceit: Through deceit they have refused to know me,   
   saith the Lord. 7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will   
   melt, and try them: for what else shall I do before the daughter of my   
   people? 8 Their tongue is a piercing arrow, it hath spoken deceit: with   
   his mouth one speaketh peace with his friend, and secretly he lieth in   
   wait for him. 9 Shall I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord?   
   or shall not my soul be revenged on such a nation?
